Cuba Avant-Garde: Contemporary Cuban Art from the Farber Collection

Large-scale paintings, sculpture, drawings, photographs and mixed-media works highlight the cultural mixing, aesthetic diversity and critical voice that reflect international contemporary art, but emerge from the distinct circumstances of Cuba itself. Forty Cuban-born artists who live in and outside of Cuba use subtle devices of irony, metaphor and ambiguity to challenge accepted artistic and political discourse, while employing a rich variety of experimental, conceptual and postmodern strategies. A fully illustrated bilingual publication accompanies the exhibition. Organized by the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and toured by Curatorial Assistance Traveling Exhibitions, Pasadena, Calif.
