My time at University of Miami working as a Visiting Scholar/Artist in residence- I was able to work with some faculty and alumna (shout out to Billie, Nathan & Anthony) to prototype a new project based on my initial Guggenheim Fellowship that involved researching links between my great, great uncle’s impactful work as a renowned Cuban botanist and my interest in landscape as a Cuban-born visual artist living in the US- • This new series in the “Re-Collecting Roig” project is based on the over 550 specimens housed at the New York Botanical Gardens’ herbarium that were once in Juan Tomas Roig’s personal collection- in addition, they have numerous other specimens of plants named after Juan Tomas Roig or discovered by him- • Thus is just the beginning of a larger installation idea I am developing around the NYBG Roig collection- • • • @guggfellows #guggenheimfellowship2021 #guggenheimfellows #guggenheimfellow #guggenheimfellowship @nybg #juantomasroig #liliangarciaroig #fsuart #cubanamericanartist #cubanamericanart

These are pictures taken at Teresita Fernandez’s exhibition, ‘Soil Horizon,’ on opening night at Lehmann Maupin last Wednesday. Similar to previous works, these pieces of art are excellently crafted and expand the idea of landscape to the underground, creating cross-sections in an anthropological and spiritual time-space journey. Notably, the exhibition also features a poetic 16mm black-and-white film co-directed with Juan Carlos Alom @juancarlosalom titled Cuajaní, which is highly recommended. The film, captured over six years in the Cuajaní community in Viñales Valley, Pinar del Río, depicts a dramatic prehistoric setting of mogotes surrounded by alluvial plains in a region left out of time due to political and geographical reasons. The film connects Fernandez’s sophisticated, impeccable—and, for those same reasons, in some measure, aseptic— conceptual work with the tangible reality of the Cuban countryside. It showcases the ready-made land art of daily life in the region, which is full of energy and lyricism. The exhibition includes many significant works, such as the beautiful and meaningful ‘Sky(Burial),’ a wall installation of over seven thousand ceramic cubes, like pixels or fragments, expelled by a centripetal force; the ceramic mosaic ‘Caribbean Cosmos (Earth)’; and the monumental cast concrete sculpture ‘Sunrise (Sunset).’ #teresitafernandez #lehmannmaupin #soilhorizon #womanartist #openingnight #juancarlosallom #cubanamericanartist #americanartist

HAVE YOU SEEN GRUFF? The handmade paper animated short film by @righteousrobot that took him 3 years to make...? It's a wonder. And the story behind it is just as meaningful. His insights in this article by @boldjourneymag are so helpful to anyone trying to live and create. Thank you Julian Curi! And as a second-generation Cuban-American, he has a Caribbean connection too 😉 🏝 Check out "Gruff" as soon as you can and shout some Caribbean and African animation projects in the comments 😍 #gruff #paperart #paperpuppetry #paperanimation #paperpuppets #juliancuri #righteousrobot #boldjourneymagazine #shortfilm #shortfilms #handmadefilmmaking #handmadefilm #handmadeanimation #animation #caribbeananimation #globalanimation #caribbeanamerican #cubanamerican #cubanamericanartist #cubanamericanfilmmaker

¢K is an ONLY ¢HILD, wasnt a lonely child. it's interesting because people always tell me "swear I thought you had siblings" & curiously, not judgemental/only slightly self aware, I ask "how come?" they tend to say things like my social skills, ability to share conversation & not hog, my gentle but firm assertiveness. the last monolithic pic is a playful reminder of perception & the duality of projection. I'm reminded of all the love & nurturing I received as a child(despite no siblings) that allowed me the confidence to operate within respect of others.
