‘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 …

‘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 …

‘Dream Liners’ by Eva Schmidt
Betritt man einen Laden, der mit Möbeln aus der zweiten Hälfte des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts handelt, taucht man in eine Atmosphäre der Stile und Ideologien, die jeweils ihre eigenen Bilder des wohnenden Menschen, der Familie, der Privatheit erzeugt haben. Epochales Denken der Moderne und der Postmoderne, Zeitgeist, verkörpert sich in Farben, Materialien, Proportionen. Dieser Situation hat Diango Hernández etwas hinzugefügt. „Dream Liners“ zeigt eine Reihe von …

Diango Hernández: Cómo educarse para vivir en el Capitalismo por Dermis Perez Leon
Para mi el arte siempre existe en relación absoluta con temas autobiográficos. Esto no significa que entienda o lea la obra de arte como autobiografía o algún tipo de historia, pero si significa que cada artista, incluyéndome a mí mismo, es parte de lo que crea.1
La primera exposición personal de Diango Hernández (Sancti Spiritus, Cuba 1970) como artista individual fue Amateur en la galería …

‘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 …

‘Line Dreamers’ at Haus im Südem c/o Boucherie – 13.04. / 28.05.2011
There will be always a fundamental confrontation between an object and its drawing, the same kind of confrontation that can occur in between the idea and the words that express it. This confrontation happens not only in an abstract form it happens as a real fact, bringing the object to exist in a permanent disappointed reality, a reality that can’t be as perfect and ideal …

‘Tropical Aliens’, based on ‘Aparatos’ (works on paper by Blanco Lopez)
- Can you tell me what’s happening here?, – I could tell you what’s happening, but I don’t know if it would really tell you what’s happening. (Solaris, Andrey Tarkovskiy 1972)
Blanco Lopez was one of those Cuban artist that back in the early 60′s embraced the Socialist Realism but already in the late 60′s Blanco L. started painting spaceships and ‘aparatos’ a sort of …

‘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 …

‘4 Short letters about image and drawing, about light and darkness, for D’ by Nuno Faria
inadvertently - Dear D.,
I am marking the start of a period of writing based on the theme of drawing, which is, as we both know, something which unites us and forms us and something which will remain of us, at the end. The skeleton.
Here, things enter, gradually, at the axes. These last months have been very tiring. However, this period is ending. We …

‘Diango Hernández’s work’ by Peter Kelly –2010
As Diango Hernández was studying industrial design in Havana the 1990s, Cuba was learning to adjust to life without the support of the Soviet Union. During this time, Hernández observed the way that global politics impinged upon the daily, domestic lives of Cubans and how scarce resources led people to create their own furniture and domestic artefacts. Initially as an exercise in design research, he …

‘Museums: Selected works 1996/2010’, Galerie Michael Wiesehöfer
MOM DEMOCRACY IS A LIE. In the 1990s Diango Hernández started an extended series of drawings which processed the political and economical crisis of Cuba after the collapse of the socialist systems in Eastern Europe. ’We lost the last support of the Sowiet Union, which meant confronting a big crisis. We knew about Perestroika and everyone was concerned: What was the political mistake? But the …

‘Warten oder Fliegen…’ by Annelie Pohlen –2010
‘Warten oder Fliegen – Die ‘Power’ des Zeichenstiftes im Werk des Amateurs. Als die 68er Kuba noch als Insel der Zukunft feiern, erlebt Diango Hernández Castros ‘Vision’ vom neuen Menschen in einer Internatsschule auf dem Land als Alptraum. Auch wenn er seine eigenen Texte wie die seiner Interpreten mit zahlreichen Deutungsmöglichkeiten aus dem kubanischen Alltag versieht, diese wie alle weiteren Erfahrungen in seinem Heimatland …
