In October of 2009, Xin Dong Cheng spearheaded a comprehensive exhibition of Chinese contemporary art at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Havana. In September, 2010, the Xin Dong Space for Contemporary Art will hold a grand showing of “Thirty Years of Cuban Contemporary Art”. This world-premiere event marks the first time that a complete showing of Cuban contemporary art has been exhibited outside of Cuba.
The comprehensive introduction of works by 30 representative Cuban contemporary artists – painting, sculpture, installation, video and photography – provides a complete outline of Cuban contemporary art from the 1960s up to the present day. The show unveils to the present-day world a new contemporary art force that is at once vivid and brimming with vitality!
Renowned Cuban artists and critics as well as official and non-governmental delegates from the art museum and Ministry of Culture, among other entitites, will come especially for the occasion and attend the opening ceremonies. Distinguished guests of honor will also be landing in China to enjoy a feast of Cuban contemporary art!
