Mendes Grabo University invites you to the opening of the “Rastros” exhibition [Traces] Featuring Eduardo Lalo, John Rivera Pico and Edna Roman. The exhibition opens tonight, July 16, 2024 at 7pm. The exhibition was curated by Mercedes Trelles Hernández.
“Artists Eduardo Lalo, Edna Roman and John Rivera-Pico join forces in the exhibition Lastros,” reports Francisco Javier DÃaz. El Nuevo Dia:
Typically, the creative process that an artist uses when creating or conceiving a piece of art depends on the various elements and thoughts that come to mind for each person. These details are what make the artworks that we see every day in galleries and museums unique and different.
The “Lastros” exhibition will open on Tuesday, July 16, 2024, in the main room of the Dr. Josefa Camacho de la Nuez Museum and Center for the Humanities (MCEH). Ana G. Mendez University “The 3D Art Gallery” in Gurabo is a unique proposal rarely seen on the island. The exhibition brings together the talents of three multidisciplinary artists, Eduardo Lalo, Edna Roman and John Rivera Pico, going beyond the collective to present works created individually, by two artists and even by the three working together.
“Through the paintings, photographs, objects and videos displayed in the space, the three artists challenge the senses of sight, touch and hearing, offering a complex sensory experience,” said Mercedes Torres Hernández, the exhibition’s curator, which reflects the artists’ visits to sites such as abandoned buildings.Central Aguirrethe leprosy colony of Salinas, the former leprosy colony on Cabras Island, and several demolished urban spaces around the island.
Eduardo Lalo, an artist who has attracted attention for decades for his essays and novels, will be showcasing a work that combines photography, abstract painting and musical compositions; Edna Roman, an artist who creates and breathes life into her works using rust-dyed fabrics and discarded materials such as steel and glass; and joining them will be the young John Rivera Pico, a talented musician, contemporary composer and photographer.
“The photographs on display demonstrate an artistic perspective that reconstructs the experiences of everyday life into complex forms; the objects and fabrics reveal the desire to use waste materials to generate new forms with ancestral resonances; the abstract paintings express the play between the aesthetics of abstraction and the disorder and richness of the natural world,” added Torres Hernández. “The video “Suite Aguirre”, created by the three artists, testifies to the vastness of some of the ruins in our project, while at the same time revealing how they are transformed into a symphony.”
For MCEH, which opened in 1982, the exhibition represents an offer to the community and a step forward in the direction it hopes to take in the future. “We are very pleased with this exhibition, especially because it is so different to anything we have done here before.
