Diana Fonseca - Explosion Implosion
Technique: Video projection of 1.07 minutes
Artist Biography: Graduated from the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA) in 2005, Diana is one of the most interesting and gestural contemporary Cuban artists. She has had numerous personal exhibitions inside and outside the island. Among her most interesting solo projects are "Cara a cara", a two-person show with Jacques Villeglé at the Brownstone Foundation, Paris, France; "Diana Fonseca", at the Sean Kelly Gallery in New York, United States; "Viaje a la semilla", a joint show with Aimée García at Factoría Habana; and "Extraña verdad", at El Apartamento, both in Havana, Cuba. His work has also been included in group exhibitions such as "Landlord Colors: On Art, Economy, and Materiality", at Cranbrook Art Museum in Michigan, USA; "Illness has a Colour", collateral to the XIII Havana Biennial and held at Estudio 50; "The Cuban Matrix" (Torrence Art Museum, Los Angeles, USA), "Wild Noise" (Bronx Museum of the Arts, New York, USA), "Fireflies in the Night" (Stravos Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, Athens, Greece), and "Transhumance, Beyond Cuban Horizons" (CAB Art Center, Brussels, Belgium). He has also participated in prestigious art fairs: ArtBo, The Armory Show, Untitled Art Fair, ARCO Madrid, Expo Chicago and LISTE Art Fair Basel. In 2015 she was awarded the EFG Bank & ArtNexus Acquisition Award, Bogota, Colombia. She has also been awarded the Cast Research residency, Melbourne, Australia (2016) and JustMad in Asturias, Spain (2017).The appropriation understood as the liberation of the object from any previous commitment, gives way to a rebirth with an artistic nature. This transformation originates from an unconditioned curiosity, at least consciously, that aspires to the discovery of ideas and metaphors that inhabit the objects. Understood as the reminiscence of an immanent knowledge, they become the means through which Fonseca communicates a thought, a reflection that has its origin in his own link and look towards what surrounds him. The resulting metamorphosis is framed in surrealist aesthetics. Uncertainty understood as the tension between our present self and the future self is staged in Explosión Implosión.
