Center’s director Jorge Fernandez Torres said the exhibition is so big that it could be compared with a mini biennial. Works of art on display were produced between 1959 to the present by renowned artists like Argentinean Leon Ferrari, and also students of the Higher Institute of Art and the San Alejandro Plastic
Arts Academy in Havana.
   Fernandez Torres said the exhibition is the result of two years of research and the collaboration of several institutions such as the National Museum of Fine Arts, Casa de las Americas, Havana’s Office of the Historian and embassies of several countries and private collectors.
    One of the curators of the display Elvia Rosa Castro said the works will be showcased until May 28 in the Lam center and also in the Ruben Martinez Villena public Library.
   Among sponsors of the event are the embassies of Argentina, Chile and Brazil whose participation in the transportation of the works of art was decisive, as well as in facilitating the visit to the island by some of the participating foreign artists.
    The collection includes 150 pieces covering nearly all plastic arts expressions by artists from Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Martinique, Colombia, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, Switzerland and the host country.
   Elvia Rosa said the exhibition was named after a text appearing in a work by Cuban artist Ernesto Javier Hernandez and perspectives are to take the collection to other countries and include more pieces by the most outstanding artists of each nation.
