About this title

Synopsis

The exhibition catalogue includes Sandra Ramos, Rocío García, Sandra Ceballos, Ibrahim Miranda, Olympya Ortiz, René Peña, Iván Capote, Yoan Capote, Carlos Estévez, Danilo Moreno, Jose Ángel Vincench, René Bravo Quintana, and Antonio Eligio (Tonel), the book-making collective Ediciones Vigía, and the print collective, The Multiple Imprint. The book gathers over 120 books, maquettes, prints, and art objects. Many of the books were designed by Ediciones Vigía, a collaborative artisans' press founded in 1985 in Matanzas. Its limited editions of works by leading Cuban and foreign authors, like García Lorca, Szymborska, Rilke, Dickinson, and Rimbaud, are designed and illustrated primarily by Rolando Estévez. Many are collaged with cloth, leaves, or wood scraps, making them unique. These artists and artisans expand definitions of the book to express a mixture of avant-garde ideas, international trends, and national sensibilities.
