The Ely Center of Contemporary Art will present Lionel Cruet's solo exhibition, Sunburnt.

Sunburnt will be showcased from April 14 - June 2,2024

Sunburnt features Cruet's video performances 'Sun Simulacrums.' The title alludes to the history of human civilizations and the use of the sun as a symbol of god, energy. power, and clarity. Ultimately, the performance challenges viewers to reflect on our role in the climate crisis and the delicate natural world on planet Earth. Other works featured include 'As far as the eyes can see' print series, 'Exercises to understand how to be together (Hand open)'; a series of carbon prints, and "Without Horizons, a large scale painting on polyethylene canvas. This industrial material is used in high risk areas, and the orange color is indicative of caution and/or danger. Cruet uses these multiple media, which include experimental digital printing processes, performance, and audiovisual installations to confront issues concerning ecology, geopolitics, and technology.

He received a Bachelor in Fine Arts from La Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Diseño en Puerto Rico, a Master in Fine Arts - DIAP (Digital Interdisciplinary Art Practice) and from CUNY The City College of New York, and a Master in Education from the College

ENLACES & DISTORSIONES

Enlaces & Distorsiones es la más reciente propuesta del artista vegalteño Edward-Víctor Sánchez. Está conformada por nueve esculturas en metacrilato y madera, y tres pinturas sobre lienzo. Este proyecto fue desarrollado en parte a las investigaciones generadas durante la residencia artística Mar Adentro en Puertas Adentro, Punta del Este, Uruguay.

La obra de Edward-Víctor requiere tener en cuenta su lenguaje de instalación en gran formato e inmersivo que ha caracterizado su trabajo, así como también sus vivencias recientes siendo diáspora. Edward-Víctor, quien además de artista es profesor en la Escuela de Arte de la Universidad de Cincinnati, se ha visto impactado por los traslados motivados por oportunidades artísticas y de trabajo. Durante 8 años, ha tenido estancia entre Vega Alta, Bayamón, Baltimore, Rockville y Cincinnati, viajando, moviendo sus pertenencias y obras de sitio en sitio, recogiendo materiales descartados del entorno y de las ciudades que se le atraviesan en el camino. Piensa y viste su práctica de esos pedazos de memorias de lugares, hechos y personas. Esta serie invita a retomar esas intenciones de desplazamiento y movilización entre experiencias y culturas.  

Con estas cajas y pinturas materializo de una manera transportable y concisa una serie de ideas, particularmente proyectos de instalaciones que he venido trabajando pero que por falta de espacio no se han podido finalizar en su forma concebida, es decir, a gran escala. Las cajas, son las que contienen y hasta cierto punto, protegen estas ideas. Ellas pueden ir conmigo a donde quiera que vaya, expresa Edward-Víctor Sánchez.

La exhibición se presenta en su espacio de taller ubicado en la Calle Doctor Ferrer #2 en Bayamón y estará disponible para el público hasta el 3 de marzo de 2024. La visita es por cita previa llamando al 787-340-1736, 787-964-0090 y/o escribiendo a [email protected]
