Utopia/Post-utopia: Conceptual Photography and Video from Cuba

This illustrated exhibition catalogue includes the work of nine photographers and video artists who are on the cutting edge of the Cuban art scene: Tania Bruguera, Ra l Cordero, Carlos Garaicoa, Luis G mez, Ernesto Leal, Elsa Mora, Ren Pe a, Manuel Pi a, and Sandra Ramos. Although their images reflect very specific experiences, this specificity infuses their work with universal relevance, dramatizing how art can, through images that are both poetic and provocative, address universal issues of personal identity, dislocation, and place. Also included are essays by guest curator Helaine Posner and art critic Eugenio Vald s Figueron that examine each of the featured artist's works.
