Havana Art Biennial in MAY & JUNE 2012

HAVANA, May 31 (NNN-PRENSA LATINA) - The 11th Havana Biennial will be held in May and June 2012 with the participation of visual artists from Latin America, Asia and Africa focusing on large public spaces.

The president of the National Visual Arts Council, Ruben del Valle Lantaron said the biennial will be a challenge for its organisers due to the economic limitations Cuba is currently facing.

The biennial will take art to the main streets of the city, which means another challenge for the curators, he said.

Artwork will be exhibited on Havana's Malecon, Avenue 23, the Port Avenue, the squares of Havana's historical center and one of the halls of the Grand Theater.

The director of the biennial, Jose Fernandez said that the event will be a big fiesta of Cuban art and there will be talks and interaction between different generations with new proposals.

The event will include the "Cuban diaspora that maintains ties with the island", he added. -- NNN-PRENSA LATINA
