‘Komplette Zimmer’ Diango Hernández at Capitain Petzel
Opening 02.03.2013 – 13.04.2013
Lines follow strange patterns specially if they are drawn on a piece of paper. Maybe nothing better than a drawing can describe that strange moment when thoughts are brought into the same reality that our bodies temporarily occupy.
I walked many times over Colon*, I crossed it in the morning and in the afternoon; also while was raining and while the …

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 …

‘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 …

‘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 …

‘Neues Rheinland’, Museum Morsbroich (curated by Stefanie Kreuzer) –2010
Marginal Zones of Revolutionary Everyday Life by Ursula Frohne. Diango Hernández’s works illuminate the art-life of the revolutionary spirit of a movement that was political and artistic in equal measure. His subtle Moses-en-scène not only conjure up the economy of scarcity in Cuba – many observers harbor exoticizing ideas about the Caribbean version of socialism- but also point to a particular pathology that is …

‘Revolution’, Kunsthalle Basel (curated by Adam Szymczyk and Simone Neuenschwander) –2006
REVOLUTION – An interview with Diango Hernández. by Simone Neuenschwander. SN: The title of your exhibition is “Revolution”. You created a painting for the poster, in which you show this word in a way that is related to the typical aesthetic of socialist propaganda posters of the 1970s from Cuba. This promises a lot… how important will this term be for your show?
DH: …

‘Revantgarde’, Paolo Maria Deanesi Gallery, Rovereto –2005
REVANTGARDE by Anke Kempkes, 2005. 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 Soviet Union, which meant confronting a big crisis. We knew about Perestroika and everyone was concerned: What …
