Las preocupaciones
Las preocupaciones
The short span of 11 years, two audiences and one viewpoint
Local public (The one who prefers to watch) You can like him or hate him, but Ezequiel Suarez is an institution in Cuban art. He himself first, and at the same level, his work. I don't know if it will reach the MOMA, or the Pompidou, and it doesn't matter either. It cannot be ignored, it cannot be discarded, it cannot be silenced.

It is like a black box that registers everything, and it can be lost (or in Jagüey), but it is always found. As Mundo recently said "(...) if you are interested call me and I will explain to you what it has inside, just tell you that you throw it on the highway and leave Havana until you get to Matanzas without taking your hand off it, 50klom per hour and it does not get hot and very economical. (...)(1)".

And then there are his texts, cobblestones of poetry to the face of the ignorant. It is clear that we feel identified. As the poet would say, it's a question of attitude.
