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. …

‘Home means belonging – and vice versa’
Diango Hernández in interview with Patrizia Dander. DANDER: You were born in Cuba in 1970, just a decade after the Cuban Revolution of 1959 and Fidel Castro’s takeover, first as Premier, later as President of Cuba. That means you belong to a generation that grew up in a fully implemented Socialist system. In 2003 you left the country for Europe – first Italy, then, …

Studio Diaries, excerpts 2006-2010 from ‘H’ a book about Diango Hernandez’s studio
ENTRY NO. 3 -Today I was confronted with a dilemma: to make a painting or to make a drawing. I don’t get in the habit of coming to the studio with a fixed idea, once I enter the studio, the things I have around me easily distract me. It seems the studio works as an accumulation of elements, ideas and thoughts; they all are connected …

Mr. Fantasy Trigger and me: The Lost Bullet
by Diango Hernández, Düsseldorf 2011. Judy: I was safe when you found me. There was nothing that you could prove. When I saw you again, I couldn’t run away. I loved you so.

‘a kiss, a hat, a stamp’ with texts by Jade Niklai. Published by Distanz
a kiss. Diango Hernández’s practice is frequently described as ‘conceptual’: inspired by versions and visions of many lived realities. It is deeply rooted in his Cuban upbringing of the 1970-80s and therefore resonates with the attitudes and visual semantics of the Soviet era. Objects are found, materials are (re)appropriated and political rhetoric engages lived intelligence, subtle humor and personal sentiment.
Blood Mountain Foundation, a …

‘The Stamps that never travelled and the birds that never flew’, Benveniste, Madrid –2011
Maybe not everyone is aware that a full colour print is actually the output of four colors combination: The cyan, the magenta, the yellow and the black. It is only through this magic combination that we can perceive what we understand as “the color”.
On a different day, in a very different place, on a street that doesn’t look like any of these ones around …

‘Works edited by Benveniste Contemporary’ 2009 and dh-artworks 2010
Excerpt from ‘Swans without a lake’ by Melanie Bono …The actual theme of the story, though, is a personal experience, an inner conflict: personal fear, and the inability to publicly acknowledge with logical consistency that the revolution has failed, become descriptive of the state of the collective, a pointer to an inability on the part of the whole society to overcome its own stasis, the …
