‘Diamonds and Stones: My Education’, Federico Luger Gallery, Milan –2008
Diango Hernández: Education, Wealth and Revolution by Lisette Lagnado, 31 March 2008. And who will even attempt to deal with young people by giving them the benefit of their experience?. Experience and Poverty 1933, Walter Benjamin. Whether from sub-Saharan Africa headed toward the Spain-governed Canary Islands, or from China and headed toward the Taiwanese coast, the scenes of the boat people are …

‘Mit Steinen auf Konventionen’ by Ludwig Seyfarth –2008
Diango Hernández in Der Galerie Michael Wiesehöfer, Köln, und bei Barbara Thumm, Berlin. Wo viel Licht, ist auch viel Schatten. Dieses geflügelte, metaphorisch auf die Dialektik und die Kehrseiten der Aufklärung bezogene, in vielen Varianten überlieferte Wort könnte als Motto der aktuellen Ausstellung von Diango Hernández dienen, deren komplexe Struktur sich schon darin andeutet, dass sie sich auf zwei Galerien in zwei Städten verteilt – …

‘Kongress der Futurologen’, ICA Dunaujvaros, Hungary (curated by Thomas Neumann) –2008
Welche Vorstellungen von der Zukunft haben wir heute? Welche Ideen gab es in der Vergangenheit und wie und wo wurden sie umgesetzt? Leben wir jetzt in der Zukunft, die man sich damals ausgemalt hat? Schauen wir heute anders in die Zukunft als es die Menschen in der Vergangenheit getan haben? Exemplarisch überprüft werden diese Fragen an besonders zukunftsträchtigen Orten – in den Planstädten Eisenhüttenstadt und …

During the opening a radio transmitter was permanently broadcasting L’Internationale: Debout! les damnés de la terre Debout! les forçats de la faim La raison tonne en son cratère, C’est l’éruption de la fin.

Refrain: C’est la lutte finale Groupons-nous et demain L’Internationale Sera le …

‘Objects of Ridicule’, Alexander and Bonin, NY – 2007
An exhibition of new work by Diango Hernández will open on December 1st at Alexander and Bonin. This will be the artist’s second one-person exhibition at the gallery.
Hernández’s new work addresses conflict as a mirror reflection of political objectives onto historical surfaces. The distortions created by the reflected images of tangible examples such as borders, oil, and bombs onto the non-tangible language of prejudice, …

‘The fruit of evil’, ArtBasel Miami, Pepe Cobo –2007
The Weird, the Wild and the Wonderful (An Art Basel Wrap-up). Story by Elizabeth Fernández …Fruits of Evil, an installation piece by Diango Hernández, drew my attention as I stepped into the convention center. It definitely stood out, the forest of black half-filled light bulbs in stark contrast to the white walls of the exhibitors’ booths, but it left me asking what one would do …

Intervista a Diango Hernández di Claudio Cucco
Nel corso di questo e del prossimo mese, a Rovereto, presso la galleria di Paolo Maria Deanesi, c’è un’interessante e significativa mostra dell’artista cubano Diango Hernández (1970). In passato, per la prima volta in Italia, aveva già esposto nello stesso spazio. Per le sue vicissitudini, di uomo e di artista, che mal sopporta, come tutti noi, limitazioni di libertà, sia politica, sia espressiva, e che, …

‘Power Pencils’, Paolo Maria Deanesi Gallery, Rovereto –2007
Remembering Cuba by Luiggi Meneghelli 2007. In Cuba the myths fades in the reality, dream in poverty and violence in sensuality. The Spanish philosopher Maria Zambrano once wrote: Cuba “is an island, which lightly lays on the water”: it is surrounded more by light than sea. In a drawing by Diango Hernández, it even appears as a mounting floating on the paper-ocean and watching towards …

‘Swans without a Lake’ text by Melanie Bono –2007
The starting-point for the exhibition Swans without a lake is a story by Diango Hernández, which tells of a subversive action in which Hernández took part in 1991 at the Cine Yara, a cinema in Havana. The experience in the cinema becomes the seed from which all those aspects and themes develop which Hernández artistically confronts in his works for the NAK. The focus of …

‘Swans without a lake’, NAK, Aachen (curated by Melanie Bono) –2007
Cine Yara: Stones and signatures of swans without a lake by Diango Hernández. Democracy can be built neither with ink nor with light. I guess there are many relations between cinemas, stones and signatures, but what follows is just one of them. In June 1991 Alicia en el pueblo de maravillas (Alicia in the country of wonders) by Daniel Diaz Torres (1990) was …

‘Made in Germany’, Kunstverein Hanover (curated by Martin Engler) –2007
Diango Hernández’s oeuvre is both political and poetical. His materials are found and secondhand antennas, telegraph poles, plastic chairs, the Internet, the political situation in his home country Cuba, or sculptural, acoustic arrangements of record players and loudspeakers. His oeuvre is doubtlessly rooted in the Cuba of the nineteen-nineties after the demise of the Soviet Union and the accompanying breakdown of the nationalized Cuban economy. …
