In Conversation: Yovani Bauta & Toa Castellanos
Thursday, June 13, 2013-6 p.m.

MDC Museum of Art + Design

600 Biscayne Blvd
Miami, FL 33132

Please join the MDC Museum of Art + Design this Thursday evening at 6 p.m. for a lively discussion between artists Yovani Bauta and Toa Castellanos. The conversation is presented in conjunction with Invisible Presence, Bauta's solo exhibition currently on view at the Museum.

Yovani Bauta is a Cuban born, American Painter. Spanning a career of over 25 years, Invisible Presence is an exhibition of recent works, including a new interactive installation, Head in the Bathroom, which explores levels of privacy and false senses of security.

Toa Castellanos was born in Cuba, grew up in the Midwest, lived extensively in Colombia, South America, and currently lives and works in Miami. Her multidisciplinary work derives from her interest and research in displacement, exile, homelessness and female position in society. Toa is currently a resident artist at the Bakehouse Art Complex.

Admission is FREE and open to the public. To RSVP please call (305) 237-7725

Invisible Presence is presented with the support of the Miami-Dade County  Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council,  the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners. ©2013 Miami Dade College - Museum of Art + Design | 600 Biscayne Blvd. Miami, Florida 33132

René Ariza / Life' Line

Hoy incorporo a mi proyecto "Life' Line" un 'pequeño' soneto del escritor y poeta René Ariza, que magistralmente retrata 'la mala-vida-en-grande de mi infortunada generación' en 'nuestra isla' de trampas y coartadas.

Hoy, a los 33 años de mi primer día de libertad en USA.

René Ariza / 1940-1994

René Ariza / Soneto

Que trampa tan bien hecha nos han hecho

Que somos el ratón y la carnada,

la pared y la punta de la espada,

el embudo y su cono más estrecho.

Que modo de torcernos tan derecho:

A un mismo tiempo crimen y cuartada

(Se escucha por la atmósfera enlutada

Un ronronear de gato satisfecho.

Y un grito que penetra por el pecho

Y un dolor de pared ensangrentada

Y un veneno que a gota destilada

Baja a la ancha miel de otros provecho.)

Que trampa tan bien hecha y adornada

Con nuestro propio estilo contrahecho.

                                          Julio de 1974

                                         (Prisión del Morro)
