In a riddle about chess, the only forbidden word is precisely: chess. Likewise, in an exhibition whose theme is symbolic production, the only discarded strategy is that of signifying. Recourse to omission is perhaps the most emphatic way of showing it, through the well-known procedure of reversing the indicator, instead of continuing to exhaust appearances.

Participating artist and also curator of the collective exhibition Hidden
At present, what has brought these artists together is a research more closely linked to art in particular. There are no themes, it is an art that is linked to the very process of creation, it is global; talking about Cuba and its conflicts is no longer the most important thing, there are too many problems that have lasted too long.

The Provincial Center for Plastic Arts and Design in Old Havana was taken over by a group of young artists on the afternoon of March 4 to present their most recent production, with the collective intervention “Hidden”. Its members Adriana Arronte, Yeny Casanueva, Aliuzka Rodríguez, Osvaldo González, Niels Reyes, Alejandro González, Maikel Linares and Yordanys Jiménez are committed to seduction and empathy with the viewer through art.
“Hidden” proposes a disengagement from certain ways of presenting the artistic object, but more than that it is a definition of purely aesthetic principles. The work seeks to relate to its surroundings and go unnoticed by the viewer who is not very attentive to intelligent observation, emphasizing the autonomy of the artistic work.

A generation that is only waiting and has taken this as an attitude, art becomes a shield and a medium for the staging of its catharsis, fears and disappointments. Their production is concentrated on the action of patterns without conflicts. They defend a cannibalistic position in relation to the history of art, devouring antecedents and then expelling them with a freshness that borders on mockery, automating an action or representing apparently trivial things; even life at home, the structures of everyday life and relationships with objects become pretexts for artistic production..Presentation words
