Exhibition with works by 15 artists, organized by Pamela Ruiz.

At the last biennial, Ruiz curated the project This is Your House, Vicenta, in which the artists' interventions were in dialog with the place, an old residential building.

This year she asked artists to design shower curtains, which were hung quite high up in the market. In most cases, one could not recognize what was on the curtains or in their pockets. We therefore don't know if any of the participants tried to create a reference to the place, which virtually provokes a discussion about the Cuban reality. We did not get that impression.

With this project - as is so often the case in Havana - the real environment was once again stronger than the art. One sees this perfectly, for example, in the imaginative stand of this vendor.
