Synopsis
The recent opening up of state-regulated tourism has yielded a flurry of student programmes, professional conferences, books, films and general enthusiasm for all things Cuban. With the future government of Cuba still an open question, its cultural riches have never been more relevant to international readers. Cuba: Contemporary Art explores how Cuban artists have worked in and around the constraints of Castro-ism (Within the Revolution, everything; outside the Revolution, nothing) and Cubas severely depressed economy, and how art education there evolved over the years from an elite community to a popular essential. The book includes more than 500 images and profiles of, among others, Juan Carlos Alom and Felipe Dulzaides. Beautifully produced and written in elegant and articulate style, this is the ideal visual survey of Cubas contemporary art landscape.

Review
'It is rare that a collection of this breadth presents works of such a uniformly high standard that are so consistently provocative and experimental. The book provides exceptional insight into contemporary Cuban art and the aesthetic and critical innovation it embodies' --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
