Leonides Arts New York Gallery TV Art's artists/curators Hans Feyerabend, Jim Kurtzman, Steve Querzy and Mark Vinsun will be filming, interviewing and criticing the galleries, artists and personalities during Arteamericas 2009 March 26th to 29th at the Miami Beach Covention Center. We have a TV Arts unit at the gallery says Mark Vinsun, that films the current art scene in New York, Miami, Barbados and wherever the LeonidesArts artists are exhibited.  Art is universal and should be available to everyone everywhere, especially to artists everywhere that are not lucky enough to live or be close to a major art center so they can see in depth what is happening and the trends and movements that is ongoing in the art world. Art is no longer the bastion of the anglo -european market it is now so  multi-cultural that the power brokers of the  art market need to recognize this more, because great art has always been produced all over the world and in all these markets there lies our future. The new and defining trends of contemporary art by Latin American and Caribbean artists will be felt throughout the Miami Beach Convention Center (Hall A), during the four-day art fair, arteaméricas.

La Habana Pavilion: Two Visions of Cuba “Past and present, aspiration and nostalgia – this is what currently constitutes the hybrid impressions within the visual representations of Havana,” says curator David Mateo. This project reunites the work of seven Cubans artists residents of the Cuban capital, among them Kadir Lopez, Ernesto Fernandez, Douglas Perez, Duvier del Dago, Liudmila y Nelson, Gertrudis Rivalta and Kelvin Lopez. “Caught in a historic moment, the city produces the necessary forms for this movement,” says Gean Moreno, the Pavillion’s curator. “Much of the current Cuban art, and that which has been made in Havana, ‘captures’, although sometimes in an oblique form, those un-anthropomorphist urban forces.” Moreno also explores the work of Cuban artists that live in Cuba as well as Miami and Vancouver, such as Alexandre Arrechea, Magdiel Aspillaga, Alejandro González, Ernesto Oroza and Manuel Piña. Buenos Aires Pavilion: Straight from Argentina Curator Eva Gristein deepens the current artistic scene from Buenos Aires by bringing together four names that have found a place in the formal art market: Matias Duville (Galería Alberto Sendros), Catalina León (Galería Daniel Abate), Manuel Ameztoy (Galería Braga Menendez) and Adriana Minolitti (Galería Ruth Benzacar). “Although very different from each other, these four artists come together through their love for the organic, the landscape, the nature of their strokes, and their romance with culture,” explains Gristein. This pavilion is sponsored by the City of Buenos Aires. Mexican Pavilion: Sublimated Tradition The Mexican Cultural Institute in Miami will exhibit works from Mexican artists who live in South Florida, such as Alekxey Sabido, Cecilia Rivera, Othon Castañeda, Eduardo Chirino, Ingrid Poch, Jaime Gil, Josafat Miranda, Laura Villarreal, Leni Ibarguengoytia and Patty Mountaudon. A common thread in the work of these artists is their visual language, which travels between two worlds. Their current production is marked by “the tradition of Mexican art that underlies in their icons, techniques and concepts, and Miami’s multiculturalism and its intense art scene,” says the Pavilion’s selection committee, comprised of Edgar Pozos, Nina Torres, Arturo Morell and Othon Castañeda. Project Room: Large Sculptures Art for open and public areas that will, under the perspective of curator Gean Moreno, reunite sculptures and installations from Julio Le Parc, Ronald Moran, Mark di Suvero, Ilan Averbuch, Rogelio Polesello, Cildo Meireles, Ernesto Neto, Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova, Quisqueya Henríquez, Frederich Kunath, Frances Trombly, Ernesto Oroza, Silvana Lacarra and Olafur Eliasson. A Glimpse of the Works of Alejandro Otero The Fundación Saludarte will highlight the works on paper of one of the most significant figures of Latin American geometric art, Alejandro Otero. Young District: Young and Accessible Art An area of creativity dedicated to three young and emerging galleries, where works of art will not exceed USD$2,000.00.
