Climbing Aboard:Havana Apartment-Galleries and International Art Circuits
Get PDFHavana’s apartment-galleries have been vital venues for the city’s art scene since the 1990s, hosting art exhibitions, workshops, and conferences. In the context of Cuba’s limited art market and dearth of cultural institutions with international reach, these residential spaces have offered artists a unique opportunity to display their work and to connect with international art circuits. Focusing on the histories of three specific apartment-galleries — El Apartamento, Estudio Figueroa-Vives, and Avecez Art Space — this chapbook reflects on the complex interplay of the local and the global in the ‘worlding’ of cultural institutions.A New International Geography of Art: Cuban Art as a ‘Periphery-Asset’Domestic Space and Renewal of the Cuban Economy: The Origin of the ‘Independent’ ArtistThe Legal Status of El Apartamento, Estudio Figueroa-Vives, and Avecez Art SpaceStrategies of Insertion in International Arts CircuitsThe ‘Private Gallery Model’ and ‘Museum Model’The ‘Laboratory Model’The Centres in the MarginsEpilogue: Havana Art WeekendReference

Get PDFShigeko Kubota’s pioneering video Sexual Healing (1998) presents an ambivalent take on her disabled husband Nam June Paik in physical therapy. Accompanied by Marvin Gaye’s titular pop song, it considers love, sex, and care in old age within the much-debated field of Fluxus collaborations, and its ideal of working together as equals when fusing life and art. Worlding Love, Gender, and Care delves into the four decades of Kubota and Paik’s time together, reflects on feminist worlding, and investigates the vital contribution of female Fluxus artists to art history.IntroductionThe Worlding Power of Affect — An Impediment to Art Historical Reception?Shigeko Kubota: Early Practice and Personal LifeOpera Sextronique (1965)Vagina Painting (1964)Video Poem (1970–75)‘Video is Vengeance of Vagina’Sexual Healing (1998)What Kind of Care?No Happy ‘Healing’ in a Heteronormative, Able-Bodied World?Reference
