Summary
The exhibition titled "landings" is a site specific project created originally in Belize where young artists create a cultural space, constituted by the lively development of emerging artistic movements of southeastern México, Central America and the Caribbean. This ambitious event seeks to hybrid cultures and identities in a spirit of collaboration, celebration, questioning and exploration while transmitting multiple messages in their innovative artwork created in situ. This double number reviews 2 venue exhibitions presenting the best artwork of 13 young artists from Central America, the Caribbean and southern México: Karlo Andrei Ibarra, Anyelmaidelin Calzadilla, Adislen Reyes, Samuel+Alexis, Alex Castilla, Pierre Obando, Ángel Poyón y Fernando PoyÑn, Natalia Domnguez, Ana Urquilla, Vctor Rodríguez and Paulina Velázquez. "Landings 6" was not a visual exhibition, the public "felt" and "listened", and included the collective participation of Mexican artists Alex Castilla, Pepe Molina and Omar Said Charruf. Whereas "landings 7" was designed for the eyes, and although the participating artists didn̓t identify in between them, as Duran remarked "the cohesion of their artwork is what mattered to us". Another difference between both events was the use of energy; Landings 6 depended completely on electric energy, while Landings 7 was designed for the sole use of solar energy by Cuban company Ecosol Solar.
