<p>Global Caraïbes<br />
Focus sur la création contemporaine caribéenne<br />
du 12 juin au 17 octobre 2010</p>
<p>Qu’est-ce qu’être caribéen aujourd’hui ?<br />
Cette question complexe est abordée par l’exposition « Global Caraïbes  » qui livre à travers les oeuvres de vingt-trois artistes issus de 11  pays du bassin caribéen, des réponses très personnelles à cette  interrogation.<br />
«Global Caraïbes» prolonge l’exploration des territoires artistiques et  singuliers engagée par le Musée International des Arts Modestes.<br />
A cette occasion, le MIAM dédie un espace à Edouard Duval-Carrié,  artiste, collectionneur et commissaire de l’exposition. En écho à  «Global Caraïbes», des oeuvres de deux artistes caribéens, Kcho, cubain  et Hervé Télémaque, d’origine haïtienne vivant en France seront  exposées, ainsi qu’une projection de photographies de peintures de rue,  prises à Port-au Prince (Haïti), rassemblées dans le projet de livre du  photographe anglais Pablo Butcher.</p>
<p>Exposition co-produite par Culturesfrance</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="padding-left: 30px;">« Global Caraïbes » Musée d’Art Contemporain (MAC) San Juan, Puerto Rico &#8211; du 11 février au 15 mai 2011</h3>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><img src="http://www.fondation-alliancefr.org/IMG/jpg/caraibelogo.jpg" alt="" width="198" height="79" /><br />
<strong>L’Institut français et la Haïtien Cultural Arts  Alliance présentent l’Exposition Global Caribbean au Musée d’Art  Contemporain de Porto Rico en collaboration avec le MIAM, le Service  culturel de l’ambassade de France et l’Alliance française de Porto Rico.</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Initiée par <em>Culturesfrance</em> dans le cadre de son programme « <em>Caraïbes en création</em> », et intégrée au programme officiel de la foire, <em>Art Basel Miami Beach</em> en 2009, « <em>The Global Caribbean : Focus on the Caribbean Contemporary Visual Art Landscape</em> »,  visait à renforcer la visibilité de la création artistique caribéenne  auprès des principaux prescripteurs et décideurs du marché de l’art.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.fondation-alliancefr.org/IMG/jpg/caraibesart.jpg" alt="" width="142" height="98" /></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Première exposition de cette envergure conçue, présentée dans la région et exportée vers d’autres destinations, <em>The Global Caribbean</em>, a été l’une des manifestations inaugurales du <em>Little Haïti Cultural Center</em>,  nouvel espace culturel pluridisciplinaire, au cœur du quartier Haïtien  de Miami, dirigé vers l’importante et active communauté caribéenne  implantée en Floride du Sud.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>« <em>Caribes Globales</em> »  (titre espagnol) est présentée au MAC en collaboration avec l’Institut  Français, la Haïtien Cultural Arts Alliance, le Musée International des  Arts Modestes de Sѐte, France (MIAM), le Service Culturel de l’Ambassade  de France aux Etats-Unis et l’Alliance française de Porto Rico dont le  titre est « G<em>lobal Caraïbes, Focus sur la création contemporaine caribéenne et Edouard Duval Carrié, un artiste collectionne</em>. »</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Au-delà de la diversité plastique des œuvres présentées,  cette exposition soulève des problématiques : quelle culture caribéenne  partagée sur un territoire éclaté formé d’îles qui parlent des langues  différentes ? Quelle légitimité à revendiquer une identité caribéenne, à  l’heure où la mondialisation entraîne métissages et déplacements  incessants des populations ? Quel rôle pour la région Caraïbe sur la  scène internationale ?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">La variété des matériaux utilisés et des thèmes abordés  témoignent du foisonnement créatif de la région caribéenne et de la  multiplicité des identités qu’elle englobe.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">L’Institut français engage aujourd’hui l’itinérance de  cette exposition entre les Etats-Unis et l’Europe, avec la présentation  aujourd’hui de Global Caribbean à Porto Rico d’où sont originaires  quelques artistes de cette exposition et avec l’espoir d’une itinérance  dans les autres îles de la Caraïbe.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Global Caraïbes</em> réunit une vingtaine  d’artistes caribéens contemporains, rassemblant diverses générations et  diverses techniques de travail comme la photographie, la peinture, des  installations plastiques, gravure, sculpture et vidéo. L’exposition a  été conçue dans le but de rompre les stéréotypes ayant tendance à  cataloguer l’art de la Caraïbe comme folklorique, enfermé dans son  territoire et distant des développements de l’art international.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Marianne Ramírez Aponte, directrice exécutive du MAC, commente l’importance de ce projet : “<em>Global Caribbean</em> <em>propose  un échange d’expression artistique innovant entre les différentes  nations de notre région, reconnaît l’importance des diasporas dans le  développement culturel de chaque pays et rompt avec les notions  esthétiques figées de ce qu’est la culture et l’identité. L’exposition  et la programmation éducative préparées pour l’occasion, provoquent et  répondent à des questions comme : Qu’est-ce qui caractérise l’art  contemporain de la Caraïbe ? Quel sens possède l’art “caribéen” durant  notre époque de mondialisation… ? Je suis très fière de positionner le  MAC au sein de ces questionnements, afin d’augmenter la communication  entre ces pays voisins, et avec eux de pouvoir ainsi réaffirmer  l’importance du rôle capital que joue Porto Rico, en étant le seul musée  du pays collectionnant et promouvant l’art portoricain depuis une  perspective caribéenne régionale et de la culture latino-américaine</em>.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>La présentation de <em>Global Caribbean</em> au Musée d’Art Contemporain de Porto Rico sera accompagnée d’une riche  programmation éducative et culturelle en collaboration avec le Centre  d’Etudes Avancées de Porto Rico et de la Caraïbe, et de l’Alliance  Française de Porto Rico. Cette programmation sera dirigée vers un public  varié et sera menée par les commissaires d’exposition, les artistes et  professeurs de diverses disciplines.</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>El Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico (MAC)</strong>, en colaboración con el Institut français (agencia para la acción cultural en el exterior de Francia), la Haitian Cultural Arts Alliance, el Musée International des Arts Modestes de Sѐte, Francia (MIAM) y la Alianza Francesa de Puerto Rico, presenta las exhibiciones Caribes globales: la creación caribeña contemporánea y Un artista colecciona: muestra de obras del artista Edouard Duval Carrié.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">La primera de estas exhibiciones, curada por el maestro artista haitiano Edouard Duval Carrié, reúne a más de una veintena de artistas caribeños contemporáneos que abarcan diversas generaciones y que cultivan una diversidad de medios como fotografía, pintura, instalación, grabado, escultura y vídeo. La exhibición fue concebida con el interés de romper con los estereotipos que a veces se tienen del arte procedente del Caribe como uno folclórico, cerrado en sí mismo y desentendido de los desarrollos del arte a nivel internacional. Para contrarrestar estas ideas el curador seleccionó obras de los artistas Alexandre Arrechea y Roberto Diago de Cuba; Nicole Awai, Marlon Griffith y Christopher Cozier de Trinidad; Jean-Francois Boclé, Alex Burke, y David Damoison de Martinica; Charles Campbell, Keisha Castello y Arthur Simms de Jamaica; Blue Curry y Kendra Frorup de Bahamas; André Eugène y Vickie Pierre de Haití; Joёlle Ferly de Guadalupe; Joscelyn Gardner de Barbados; Hew Locke de Guyana; Raquel Paiewonsky, Gustavo Peña y Jorge Pineda de la República Dominicana; y Melvin Martínez y Betty Rosado de Puerto Rico. A esta selección de artistas, y con el interés de ampliar la participación de los artistas boricuas en este proyecto de alcance internacional, el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico añade a los artistas Vanessa Hernández Gracia, Nora Rodríguez Vallés y Daniel Lind Ramos, los que también representan distintas generaciones del arte nacional. La selección de estos artistas fue realizada por Marianne Ramírez Aponte y Lilliana Ramos Collado, directora ejecutiva y curadora del MAC, respectivamente.</p>

<p>The <strong>Museum of Contemporary Art of Puerto Rico</strong> (MAC: Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico) with the support of  the French Institute presents two related exhibitions: “Caribes  globales: la creación caribeña contemporánea” [Global Caribbeans:  Creation in the Contemporary Caribbean] and “Un artista colecciona:  muestra de obras del artista Edouard Duval Carrié” [An Artist Collects:  Works by Artist Edouard Duval Carrié]. The opening took place on  February 10th in Santurce, Puerto Rico. The exhibit was first held in  Miami at the cultural center of Little Haiti in 2009 and was presented  at the International Museum of Modest Art (MIAM: Musée International des  Arts Modestes) in Sète, France, in 2010.  Curated by world renowned Haitian artist <strong>Edouard Duval Carrié</strong>,  “Global Carribean” features the works of 23 Carribbean artists. The  extremely diverse artistic productions ranging from photography to  sculpture, engraving and video stress the variety and creativity of the  Caribbean artistic scene. The exhibition addresses stereotypes of  Caribbean art as folkloric and separated from the developments in the  art world at an international level.</p>
<p>A selection of pieces from Edouard Duval Carrié’s  collection is also showcased in the exhibition “An Artist Collects:  Works by Artist Edouard Duval Carrié”.</p>
<p>“Global Caribbean” came to being thanks to the  organization of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs:  Culturesfrance, recently renamed &#8220;the French Institute&#8221; that launched  “The Caribbean in Creation” in 2007 to support arts in the Caribbean.</p>

Caribes  globales: la creación caribeña contemporánea y&#8230;un artista colecciona:  muestra de obras del artista Edouard Duval Carrié</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">espacinsular<br />
<strong>SAN  JUAN, Puerto Rico, 10 de febrero de 2011.- El Museo de Arte  Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico (MAC), en colaboración con el Institut  français (agencia para la acción cultural en el exterior de Francia), la  Haitian Cultural Arts Alliance, el Musée International des Arts  Modestes de Sѐte, Francia (MIAM) y la Alianza Francesa de Puerto Rico,  presenta, a partir del próximo jueves, 10 de febrero, las exhibiciones  Caribes globales: la creación caribeña contemporánea y Un artista  colecciona: muestra de obras del artista Edouard Duval Carrié.</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">La  primera de estas exhibiciones, curada por el maestro artista haitiano  Edouard Duval Carrié, reúne a más de una veintena de artistas caribeños  contemporáneos que abarcan diversas generaciones y que cultivan una  diversidad de medios como fotografía, pintura, instalación, grabado,  escultura y vídeo.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">La exhibición fue concebida con el interés de romper con  los estereotipos que a veces se tienen del arte procedente del Caribe  como uno folclórico, cerrado en sí mismo y desentendido de los  desarrollos del arte a nivel internacional.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Para contrarrestar estas ideas el curador seleccionó  obras de los artistas Alexandre Arrechea y Roberto Diago de Cuba; Nicole  Awai, Marlon Griffith y Christopher Cozier de Trinidad; Jean-Francois  Boclé, Alex Burke, y David Damoison de Martinica; Charles Campbell,  Keisha Castello y Arthur Simms de Jamaica;  Blue Curry y Kendra Frorup  de Bahamas; Andrѐ Eugѐne y Vickie Pierre de Haití; Joёlle Ferly de  Guadalupe; Joscelyn Gardner de Barbados; Hew Locke de Guyana; Raquel  Paiewonsky, Gustavo Peña y Jorge Pineda de la República Dominicana; y  Melvin Martínez y Betty Rosado de Puerto Rico.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">A esta selección de artistas, y con el interés de  ampliar la participación de los artistas boricuas en este proyecto de  alcance internacional, el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico  añade a los artistas Vanessa Hernández Gracia, Nora Rodríguez Vallés y  Daniel Lind Ramos, los que también representan distintas generaciones  del arte nacional. La selección de estos artistas fue realizada por  Marianne Ramírez Aponte y Lilliana Ramos Collado, directora ejecutiva y  curadora del MAC, respectivamente.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Caribes globales fue presentada por primera vez en el  Haitian Cultural Arts Alliance en el 2009 y en el MIAM de Sѐte, Francia  en el 2010. En ocasión de esta segunda presentación, la curadora del  MIAM, Martine Buissart, añadió al proyecto la muestra de obras del  artista Duval Carrié y una mayor representación de la diáspora caribeña  en Europa con los artistas Kcho (Cuba) y Hervé Télémaque (Haití)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">En su tercera puesta, como ya hemos anticipado, el Museo  de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico amplía el proyecto con los  artistas antes mencionados y también mediante la incorporación del  programa del Taller Vivo del MAC, con el cual se estimularán nuevas  direcciones de comunicación a través del intercambio cibernético entre  artistas y público locales y el público internacional con el proyecto  denominado Alice Yard (www.aliceyard.blogspot.com), un espacio de  experimentación, colaboración e improvisación artística radicado en Port  of Spain en Trinidad y Tobago, administrado y curado por el arquitecto  Sean Leonard, el artista Christopher Cozier, el escritor Nicholas  Laughlin y el músico Sheldon Holder.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Marianne Ramírez Aponte, directora ejecutiva del MAC,  comenta sobre la importancia del proyecto: “Caribes globales propone  relaciones innovadoras entre el arte de las distintas naciones de la  región, reconoce la importancia de las diásporas en el desarrollo  cultural de las naciones y rompe con las nociones estáticas de lo que es  la cultura y la identidad.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">La exhibición y la programación educativa que se ha  diseñado en torno a ésta, provoca y contesta preguntas como: ¿qué  caracteriza al arte contemporáneo caribeño?, y ¿qué sentido tiene hablar  de  arte “caribeño” en tiempos de globalización, en un mundo tan  conectado e interdependiente? Me siento sumamente orgullosa de que el  MAC sea sede para estos cuestionamientos, para ampliar la comunicación  con estos países hermanos, y con ello reafirmar la importancia del  espacio específico que llenamos en Puerto Rico, en tanto somos el único  museo en el País que colecciona y promueve el arte puertorriqueño desde  una perspectiva regional caribeña y cultural latinoamericana.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">La presentación de Caribes globales en el Museo de Arte  Contemporáneo estará acompañada de una rica programación educativa y  cultural, la que ha sido desarrollada en conjunto con el Centro de  Estudios Avanzados de Puerto Rico y el Caribe y la Alianza Francesa. La  misma estará dirigida a un público variado y para su implementación  contará con curadores, artistas y profesores de distintas disciplinas  invitados, además del personal de curaduría y educación del MAC.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">En ocasión de la apertura de la exhibición el próximo 10  de febrero a las 7:00 p.m., visitarán el País el Cónsul General de  Francia Gael de Maisonneuve y la Delegada Cultural del Servicio  Artístico de la Embajada de Francia en Nueva York Sophie Claudel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><a href="http://artcircuitsartcentric.blogspot.com/2010/12/www.artcircuitsartcentric.blogspot.com">More Miami News You Can Use for BaselMania</a></h3>
<blockquote><p>This was my first day of actual &#8220;baseling,&#8221; as people often say, and did  this Basel begin with a bang! It was a bang that ricocheted from Miami  to Haiti and all through the Caribbean, then across the Atlantic riven  by the blood, sweat, and tears of the Middle Passage, and then to Africa  and back to Miami.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m talking about my visit to the must-see  exhibit &#8220;Global Caribbean II: Caribbean Trilogy, Focus on the Greater  Antilles&#8221; at the Little Haiti Cultural Center. There are absolutely  riveting, knock-your-socks off artworks on view by Edouard Duval Carrie,  Jose Bedia, and Jose Garcia-Cordero. The best of these can make your  heart weep.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also talking about a spectacular performance of  excerpts from a new contemporary opera, &#8220;Makandal,&#8221; produced by Harlem  Stage of New York City. (www.HarlemStage.org) As Harlem Stage executive  director Patricia Cruz explained before the performance I saw this  morning at 11 am, what we saw was about a half-hour &#8220;collage&#8221; woven from  the mighty collusion of visual arts, dance, music, and song. To some  extent it was inspired by the continually astonishing art by Duval  Carrie, who for years has given the rich visual art history of Haiti a  special voice in contemporary art.</p>
<p>This collage of an  opera-in-progress wove together the story of Makandal, an 18th Century  Haitian revolutionary who led a failed slave revolt, with the story of  21st Century illegal immigrants from Haiti, Cuba, and the Dominican  Republic embarking on a perilous boat trip to Puerto Rico to find a  better life, to find the the right to live freely and with dignity.</p>

<p>&#8220;The tragic earthquake that hit Haiti on January 12 left more than 3,000 schools destroyed or damaged. Some of them will remain closed for years, many of them will never reopen and the construction of new schools will take a long time.</p>
<p>This has left thousands of children languishing in camps or working in the streets to survive, their dreams crushed and their futures uncertain. They have no routine, nothing to look forward to every day, no safe place to spend their time, to meet with their friends, no safe haven. (New York Times 3/6/2010)</p>
<p>Immediately after the earthquake, Antuan, in collaboration with Fundacion Manos del Sur and Step by Step Foundation, conceived an humanitarian art project, an art installation of painted tents, with the children of Haiti in mind. This project is a wonderful collaboration of individuals and organizations to support the education of children and uplift the spirit of the people of Haiti.</p>
<p>At almost a year of the devastating earthquake, this installation is also a call for attention to the reality of a country that tries to carry on with life as usual, still amid ruins and tent towns.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By JENNIFER KAY - Associated Press - 4:02 p.m., Friday, December 3, 2010</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">MIAMI (AP) &#8211; A young boy reaching toward a glimmer of light took shape as Haitian graffiti artist Jerry Rosembert Moise sprayed paint on the wall of an impoverished neighborhood’s youth center.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">It’s the kind of clearly hopeful image Moise developed after a catastrophic earthquake leveled his hometown of Port-au-Prince in January.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“I used to do caricatures, but now I try to be more realistic to get more attention for helping the country,” Moise said during a break from his painting Thursday night.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Moise, who gained international attention for his images after the earthquake, is among the artists taking advantage of the art fair crowds in Miami this week to highlight Haiti‘s ongoing struggles and raise funds for earthquake victims.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Thousands of collectors are in Miami for the annual Art Basel Miami Beach international art fair, and for other contemporary art fairs and museum exhibits.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Haitian artists and advocates hope they can gain influence and money for projects to improve the lives of more than 1.5 million people still homeless nearly a year after the earthquake, amid a cholera outbreak that has killed nearly 1,900 since October.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami scheduled an exhibit of portraits of Miami’s Haitian community by fashion photographer Bruce Weber specifically for the Art Basel crowds. Some of the images in “Bruce Weber: Haiti/Little Haiti” were shot in the same streets where Weber has photographed fashion magazine spreads.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The faces Weber has captured on film in Little Haiti since 2003 show the long-reaching effects of the earthquake and U.S. foreign policy.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">A young girl detained for six months by U.S. immigration authorities won’t smile and fixes her eyes on the ground. A plumber with an intravenous tube running from his nose spreads his scarred hands on his hospital bed to show he can still work. Women cradling small children in their laps crowd shoulder to shoulder in church pews. A young couple in wheelchairs tentatively hold hands.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The Haiti Art Expo is selling new paintings by contemporary artist Philippe Dodard, along with artwork by other Haitian artists, to benefit earthquake relief efforts. At its opening Thursday night, Haitian voodoo drumming rivaled a DJ’s electronic beats in the next gallery.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Meanwhile, outside a downtown hotel, a cluster of large, colorful tents isn’t just for show. In the words of Antuan, the artist who organized the Base Paint Tents project with Fundacion Manos del Sur and the Step by Step Foundation, it is a “utilitarian art installation.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The 10 heavy-duty tents will become classrooms for children living near the Port-au-Prince airport in a camp managed by Haitian soccer star Bobby Duval.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">While Haiti desperately needs new housing and schools, reconstruction efforts have stalled with just a trickle of pledged international aid delivered to the Caribbean country. These tents were chosen for their mobility and ability to withstand harsh conditions for years.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“We see the reality of almost a year (since the quake) and the rubble is still there,” Antuan said. “The tents are going to be there for a long time.”</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Duval‘s brother, Miami-based artist Edouard Duval Carrie, is among the 10 artists who painted the tents. Duval Carrie also organized a separate, two-part show at the Little Haiti Cultural Center, <strong>“The Global Caribbean II: Caribbean Trilogy.”</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Along with works by Duval Carrie, Cuban artist Jose Bedia and Dominican artist Jose Garcia Cordero, it includes new textiles commissioned from three Haitian artists after the quake. Jean Joseph Jean-Baptiste stitched Voodoo-inspired fantasies into beaded and sequined flags, while deities emerge from layers of buttons and found objects sewn together by a pair who sign their work as Kongo Laroze.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Duval Carrie said he commissioned textiles instead of paintings because textile artists will employ more earthquake survivors.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“They’re like ateliers. They have 15 families working for them,” Duval Carrie said.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">None of the textile artists could secure a visa to travel to Miami for the exhibit’s opening Friday. Ira Lowenthal of Men Nou Gallery, which represents Jean-Baptiste, blamed U.S. bureaucracy and said he planned to return to Port-au-Prince to argue on the artists’ behalf.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“The U.S. should be trying to promote what’s positive in Haiti, what makes Haiti special and why we should be helping Haiti,” Lowenthal said.</p>
