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. …

‘Crystal Clear’, Diango Hernández at Nicolas Krupp Gallery, Basel
The humid image. Diango Hernández, Düsseldorf. A massive amount of water particles went back, invisibly and slowly, to where they came from – to the sky. Only rests of colors, dissolved paper and fragments of plaster and terracotta remained on the floor. The shelves and some tables were still in good shape, but most of the sculptures were broken or just vanished because of …

‘If I send you this’, Diango Hernández at Alexander and Bonin NY (installation views)
Hernández has transformed the architecture of the first floor gallery to accommodate two site specific installations which re-appropriate the geometric ‘cat eye’ shape of Gordon Matta-Clark’s 1975 “Days End.” He has re-imagined this cut to represent an escape from a space of restriction to a space of freedom, and has re-termed it an exeunt. For the artist, the exeunt represents the highest expression of the …

‘If I send you this’, Diango Hernández at Alexander and Bonin NY
Exeunt by Diango Hernández, Düsseldorf 2011. In 1967 my great-grandfather wrote in a letter to my grandmother: If I would find a way to escape this country -and most important- if I would find a place where we can live all your sisters and brothers together, would you like to come with us? In an earlier letter sent also to my grandmother in 1958, …

‘Interrogando a Marcel’ Diango Hernández
A veces pienso en Marcel cuando me decía -el espectador es un ser invisible, un elemento además volátil y por lo tanto incontrolable, e insistía -si conocieras mi plan comprenderías que un espacio solo puede ser ocupado por una idea. No obstante a mis esfuerzos por definir un nuevo tipo de espectador jamás pude convencer a Marcel, mis ideas eran demasiado imprecisas, mis argumentos todos …

‘Interrogating Marcel’ by Diango Hernández
Sometimes I think about Marcel and I remember him telling me: ‘The visitor is an invisible being, a volatile element and therefore the visitor is by principle uncontrollable’ With vehemence Marcel would continue: ‘If you would know my plan, maybe you would understand that a single space can only be occupied by a single idea’. Yet to all my efforts towards defining a new type …

‘Moonwalkers’ by Diango Hernández –2008
Ci sono tre giorni importanti nella mia memoria il primo quando ho visto il primo seno o popolarmente parlando la prima tetta, il secondo quando ho fato un’antenna di FM che ho sistemato sopra il mio tetto e il terso momento è stato quando ho dovuto togliere la mia antenna di FM. Particolarmente il secondo episodio non lo ricordo cosi bene perché ero tutto agitato …

‘Ti dichiaro colpevole’ by Diango hernández –2008
Immagina che un giorno ti svegli di mattino e come di solito; vai a prendere il pane, burro, latte e un paio d’uovo per fare collazione, arrivi in negozio e il proprietario dice subito: Non abbiamo più niente di questo che mi hai chiesto. Il “più” pronunciato da lui ha suonato ovviamente infinito e senza discussione. Nella mia faccia si disegna un segno pallido di …

‘The lighter’ by Adam Szymczyk –2009
The scene of the action is not yet a scene of action, and, unless particular circumstances arise – which they won’t – never will be. A short section of the street between the now-closed cinema and the fifth streetlight from the left. The excellent lighting allows for a fairly detailed description. From the fifth streetlight there approaches the phantom of a woman draped in an …

Diango Hernandez by John Quin for MAP #16 – 19 Dec 2010
6 September – 25 October, 2008, Barbara Thumm, Berlin
One wall of Diango Hernandez’s new show out-of-place artefacts (OOPArt), is lined by a row of bright collages, ‘Collagen’, 2008, that immediately attract the attention of the male. Here photographs of chintzy 18th century porcelain figures are spliced with cut-out shapes from soft-core magazines. Prancing horses now have a model’s tanned buttocks. Black-stockinged thighs adorn a …
