On Tuesday, April 14, at 12:00 noon, the exhibition ESCENAS DEL NAUFRAGIO<\/em> (SCENES FROM THE SHIPWRECK), by artist Alexis Garc\u00eda, curated by Jorge Villacorta, will open at the Inca Garcilaso Cultural Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n

For the curator, the exhibition \u201cthrows into the air and scatters the artist\u2019s dark humor as well as the anguish of his sleepless nights. It also offers a touch of tenderness<\/em>\u201d. He believes that Garc\u00eda \u201creserves his darkest humor for his performances, documented in smaller-format images. These images possess diverse textures, lent to them by the anecdotes that form his personal history. <\/em><\/p>\n

They are full of settling accounts with friends, contemporaries, and enemies, of course. His main antagonist, however, is that young man in his memory, barely out of adolescence, who left Havana at 22 years old, and who today is at odds with the deluded witness of a relentless shipwreck<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n
