CAMAGÜEY.- The 30th edition of the Hall of the City of Camagüey was inaugurated in its natural headquarters, the universal art gallery Alejo Carpentier, to which after a five-year period it can return thanks to the rehabilitation of the property.
Recognized among the most important spaces of the exhibition circuit of the city, the institution was filled in the good sense of the word, for the amount of works admitted by 47 artists from the provinces of Guantánamo, Santiago de Cuba and Camagüey.
Painting, sculpture and installation predominate in a contest for which the artists Joel Jover and Nazario Salazar will serve as a jury - both receive the dedication of the current Camagüey's Culture Week - Oscar Rodríguez Martínez, Ali Hamouni and the critic Ernesto Escobar.
The Hall also includes a theoretical event dedicated to the study of the work of Joel Besmar, the presentation of the curatorial project Efigies del Tiempo, Matanzas, and the reflection on the meaning of a visual arts hall today.
Collaterally, this Tuesday will be the opening of a collective exhibition of sculpture in the Larios Gallery (4:00 pm), and the staff of the photographer Aneli Pupo, of Guantánamo, at the Julio Antonio Mella Provincial Library (9:00 pm )
The 30th City Hall will continue until February 7 with actions in other cultural spaces and interrelated with institutions and associations that accompany audiovisual creation in the territory.
The event also marks the beginning of the celebration program for the 40 years of the foundation of the universal art gallery Alejo Carpentier, which has followed the footsteps of the artists and has hosted projects such as the International Video Art Festival of Camagüey, unique in Latin America .
