Cuban-born Carlos Manuel C\u00e1rdenes and Esteban Blanco are Miami and Colorado-based artists whose works in photography, bronze and mixed-media sculpture mine the depths of their diasporic experience.<\/p>\n
C\u00e1rdenes\u2019 \u201cFACES\u201d series of photographs of Cuban artists survey this dynamic group and are as a whole incredibly moving. Blanco will exhibit works from two series. His bronze works are inspired by Italo Calvino\u2019s work of fiction \u201cThe Invisible Cities\u201d that wrestle with wishes to idealize home cities, as well as work from his mixed-media sculpture series \u201cViolent Toys.\u201d<\/p>\n
The exhibit, lectures and artist residencies are generously sponsored by the CU President\u2019s Fund for the Humanities and the UCCS Chancellor\u2019s Office. GOCA will publish a catalog to accompany the exhibit.<\/p>\n
