Do You Hate Me? by Lilliam Nieves
Por Carlos Antonio Otero, Especial para ESCENARIO
05 de febrero de 2010 04:00 am
Antes de cruzar el zaguán en el número 301 de la calle Cruz en el Viejo San Juan, hay que dejar el recato en la acera. De lo contrario, resultará un ejercicio fútil el recorrido por la sala de exposiciones de Obra Galería, donde unos 37 artistas presentan hasta la próxima semana la muestra “Sex...

Cuarenta artistas lo afirman en la muestra que abre hoy, a la 1:00 p.m.
Por Tatiana Pérez Rivera / tperez@elnuevodia.com
La ternura, el coraje, la belleza, la tristeza y la fealdad dijeron presente. El espectro de reacciones que provocan las relaciones interpersonales se apoderó de los vídeos, las fotos, las esculturas y las piezas en papel que componen la muestra “Sex sells” la cual abre al público hoy...

El centro curatorial LA 15 cerró el 2009 con una ambiciosa propuesta donde logró reunir a poco más de 50 artistas en la muestra Chiquitolina, con trabajos de pequeño formato en diversos medios.

One Day I Will Let You Taste My Scars from Arnaldo Roman
The consumption of object is what defines our other-self, making us, as consumers to create a simulated character that ultimately becomes our own canned reality. In a more pessimistic sense we becomes the object and the object becomes part of our functional roles. This premise may be seen, as a principle of fetishism as the object on itself becomes part of...

Video Still: Photo by C.Acevedo
The urban area of Santurce is fast evolving again into the center of the contemporary art scene in Puerto Rico, prefering the shabby streets of the urban core of this town. Just when the local art institutions are crumbling from lack of funding, private initiatives in Santurce emerge as the only alternative for the arts. Right now, the area is buzzing with opportunities, cheap rents...

Process: Everything change, the actual procedures turn to ideas that intrinsically have another sense with new subroutines. By researching and looking back at what I always given for granted I discovered new and old scattered images of many dialects and discourses that may better describe or in better words, better appropriate terms important to my work. Incorporating factual discourses like codes, science...

Diatribe of Saint Vitus with a theme song far far away from Arnaldo Roman on Vimeo.
This is a re-mediation on Theme Song by Vito Acconci. As i was visualizing it it was not a moment on intimacy or a pretension to be close to someone like the original ‘73 Acconci’s video. Its a re-digestion of another scenario were the character unveils a dysfunctional conversation with whoever want to take a moment out of a...

On December 25, Carlos Antonio Otero Aponte, a reporter and blogger from Puerto Rico posted a blog entry as a reaction to an article of mine in Trance Liquido. On his post he is discussing how country-relative culture, but specifically our own, is becoming more and more endangered by our ever growing desire to capitalize everything. Well, not as superfluous as I am putting this up but in a more complex scheme. In my...

Method:
At this point I am exploring different medias like Video-Art, Net-Art, Photography, Design and Painting. The main concept behind all these kind of works or what will consequently tied them together will be that of consuming culture in Puerto Rico and the influence the global market have in our culture. Most of my work will be presented on the internet as video art and net art relying on coding as the vehicle...

With the introduction of computer as a labor process the work has radically transform. What was driven by the labor workforce in terms of ability and exclusively communal labor is now more intensively automatized and machine related. Labor is no more conditioned by workload and force standards but how the machine should do the tasks. The machine as a generator of economy and subsequently as a producer of goods that...

Faculty: Mary Ting
Within Mary Ting’s varied art practice of installation, drawing, photography and video, the prevailing emphasis is the use of the fragment within a nonlinear narrative. Her work inhabits the realm of temporality, private obsessions and the sensual. Layered with stories, glimpses of memories, metaphors, her animals, figures, limbs, and cropped forms are both personal and allegorical. Mary...
