The Castel in the Air, curated by Adam Budak
The exhibition “THE CASTLE IN THE AIR. Séance of Imagination” is a subtle projection of a hidden (other) life of the Castle. In this choreography of imagination, the Castle is a phantasmagoria and a mirage: oneiric theatre of a soul, a possible abstraction of a thought and a symbol of a fantasized encounter – outside of a history, beyond time and memory, on a margin …

Diango Hernandez, Drawing the Human Figure, curated by Nuno Faria, Fondazione Brodbeck, Catania
The skull, a hard, bone structure, is the shape-giving form which makes all heads relatively the same. Of course, there are variations in the shapes of skulls. There are long-headed men and wide-headed men and skulls vary in shape in different geographic locales. But in essence, the skull can be reduced to the general flat shape of an oval and in volume, an egg-shaped form. …

The Foam Collector (Imaginary exhibition for the Havana Biennial)
This is not the first time that I exhibit my work in Havana, but it has been a while since my last time. Since I came across the idea of exhibiting during the next Havana Biennial, I have been very confused. Presenting my thoughts to an audience that can’t see what I can and vice-versa, heavily upsets me. Havana can be the best venue for …

Diango Hernández at Nicolas Krupp by Quinn Latimer. Artforum
Diango Hernández has in the past noted, both slyly and acutely, his own ‘tropical sensitivities’. Certainly they could be discerned in the Düsseldorf-based Cuban artist’s quietly exhilarating exhibition in Basel, though not in the conventional or clichéd forms that evocations of the tropics so often take; there were no potted palms or brightly patterned tiled. Instead, the elegant if strangely alien modernism (Europe by way …

‘Diango Hernández. Lonely Fingers’ by Annelie Pohlen. Kunstforum International
Als Georg Elben 2011 die Leitung des Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten übernimmt, handelt er so wie nahezu alle neuen Direktoren in ihren Häusern. Er inspiziert die hauseigenen Güter und Leihgaben. Der im Museumsnamen ausgewiesene Schwerpunkt ist unübersehbar. Man begegnet ihm unweigerlich auf dem Weg durch die ausgedehnten Grünflächen im Außenraum. Einen überregionalen Rang hat sich das Institut indes vor allem mit dem unter Uwe Rüth vorangetriebenen Schwerpunkt …

‘Folded Tiger’, Philara Collection, Dusseldorf, Germany
The following passage appears (textually) in the first page of Guillermo Cabrera Infante’s most glorious and delicious book, Tres Tristes Tigres (Three Sad Tigers) 1967, translated into English as Three Trapped Tigers. Because this book and for this book I have made ‘Folded Tiger’. My thoguhts about tigers match perfectly with my fantasies about color and freedom and this happened because you Señor Guillermo. For …

‘Lonely fingers’ (curated by Georg Elben), Marl Skulpturenmuseum
In that cold ‘second hand store’, in the middle of an immense chaos and covered with multiple layers of dust, I found Anni’s W. drawings folder. It was sold to me for 3 Euros. I walked away from that place, slowly and with guilt. In that moment I didn’t know if whether I was a thief or a pioneer. I discovered an extraordinary beautiful thing …

Launching ‘Home’ by Diango Hernández at Ivory Press, Madrid
The studio as a ‘second home’ Cuban artist Diango Hernández (Sancti Spiritus, 1970) presented his latest book, Home, at Ivorypress on 30 November. The publication, produced by dh-artworks and published by Alexander and Bonin Publishing, is an introspective journey into the artist’s studio in Düsseldorf.
As the director of Ivorypress Antonio Sanz describes it, ‘this is a intimate, brave book, with no concessions to being …
