Artistas y el Mundial
ARTISTAS Y EL MUNDIAL
11 de junio- 13 de julio de 2014
Artistas de vanguardia crean ediciones de grabados especiales para el Mundial de 2014. Entre ellos, William Kentridge, Vik Muniz, Jean-Michel Basquiat y Gabriel Orozco. ARTISTAS Y EL MUNDIAL es una selección de 15 grabados de edición limitada sobre papel acuarela japonés, que se mostrará en NH Galería del 11 de junio al 13 de julio de 2014.
También participan en esta exposición importantes figuras de la historia del arte contemporáneo. Sao Paulo, de Fernand Léger, es memoria del artista en Brasil; el mapa de este país del conceptual Nelson Leirner está cubierto de pelotas de futbol; y las obras de dos representantes de la cultura pop y callejera de los años 80, Jean Michel Basquiat y Keith Haring, son de un lenguaje desenfadado y enérgico.
Bycicle Kick, realizada para el Mundial de 2010 por el artista sudafricano William Kentridge, se reimprime para esta carpeta debido a la gran demanda que ha experimentado en los últimos años. Tanto Vik Muniz como James Rosenquist resaltan la conexión cultural de Brasil con el futbol en sus obras Football Player y Brazil.
Allora y Calzadilla, quienes representaron a los Estados Unidos en la Bienal de Venecia, abordan el futbol con humor en su composición. El norteamericano Jeff Koons participa con su Pink Bow y el mexicano Gabriel Orozco con Blindside Run, de su conocida serie, Atomistas.
ARTISTAS Y EL MUNDIAL incluye igualmente a artistas jóvenes internacionales, como el grafitero brasileiro Nunca, cuyo trabajo está representado en colecciones institucionales a nivel mundial; o Hideaki Kawashima, discípulo de Yoshitomo Nara, y uno de los artistas japoneses del momento. El norteameriamericano Kehinde Wiley representa la nueva generación de Brasil con su retrato de un joven afrobrasilero sobre un fondo de colores opulentos.
Entre todos, crean una imagen rabiosamente contemporánea y vital de nuestra cultura actual, celebrando el ambiente festivo, intercultural y deportivo que viviremos en el verano de 2014.
FECHAS: 11 de junio– 13 de julio, 2014

CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS AND THE WORLD CUP
June 11th - July 13th, 2014
Contemporary artists create a special edition of prints for the 2014 World Cup. Among them are William Kentridge, Vik Muniz, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Gabriel Orozco. CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS AND THE WORLD CUP is a selection of 15 limited edition prints on Japanese watercolor paper, that will be shown at NH Galeria from June 11th to July 13th, 2014.
In this exhibition are important figures of the history of contemporary art. Sao Paulo, by Fernand Léger, is an artist’s memory from Brazil; the map of this country by conceptual artist Nelson Leirner is covered in soccer balls; and the works of two representatives of the 80’s pop and street culture, Jean Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, have a fresh and energetic visual language.
Bycicle Kick, created for the 2010 World Cup by South African artist William Kentridge, is reprinted for this edition due to the high demand that it has experienced in the past few years. Vik Muniz and James Ronsequist emphasize the cultural connection of Brazil and soccer with their works Football Player and Brazil.
Allora y Calzadilla, who represented the United States in the Venice Biennale, refer to soccer in their composition with a sense of humor. American Jeff Koons participated with his Pink Bow and Mexican Gabriel Orozco with Blindside Run, from his series, Atomists.
CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS AND THE WORLD CUP includes as well young international artists such as the Brazilian graffiti artist Nunca, whose work is represented in international collections; or Hideaki Kawashima, mentee of Yoshitomo Nara, and one of the Japanese artists of the moment. American Kehinde Wiley depicts Brazil’s new generation with his portrait of a young Afro-Brazilian on a bright color background.
All together create a lively and fiercely contemporary picture of our culture, celebrating the festive, intercultural and sporting atmosphere that we will experience in the summer of 2014.
DATES: June 11th – July13th, 2014
OPENING RECEPTION: Wednesday, June 11th, from 6 to 8 p.m.
