"The powerful and alluring photographic assemblages of Sheree Hovsepian... are the result of multiple layers of photographic paper rolled, folded and wrapped in volumetric shapes. In her work, Hovsepian often combines black and white images of details of female body parts, drawings, as well as abstract photograms created in the dark room. The works are then covered with sheer natural, or black nylon which, stretching across the surface, further reference to the female body. ”These three works are the first by Hovsepian to enter the Guggenheim Collection..."

ZILIA SÁNCHEZ: SOY ISLA (I AM AN ISLAND) 

ZS's deeply personal eroticart @hyperallergic ... queer woman, homotextual... great, ya era hora, a toda pluma, Zilia la tuercartista, que ni más clara el agua... pero de pronto... esto... 

"Particularly baffling is an unchallenged quote concerning Cubans of African descent. Explaining the title of an early series, Afrocubanas, Sánchez says, “I am mulata … every Cuban has some black blood, and I like this reference to race.” Sánchez’s usage of the word mulata here is rooted in a longstanding trope, that of the mixed race woman embodying the myth of idealized racial harmony in Cuba. Arising from popular nationalist discourse in the early 20th-century, the mulata figure emerged as a complicated symbol in Cuba’s collective imagination, at once sexualized and denigrated but also romanticized in poetry, song, and literature. It is a highly loaded term that, in this context, belies the actual economic inequality and social stratification that characterize Cuba’s racial dynamics and history." 

en serio, qué manera de comercacartística con toda la ridiculez del artspeak pc...  baffLing? loaded? for whom? complicated symbol? mira esta, que seguritísimo nunca se habrá tirado una mulata cubana... que si ZS se quiere autodeclarar mulata porque le sale del culo, eso es lo que hay, y nada más que cuestionar... qué loaded ni loaded... tanto revestir el huevo para aplastarlo podrido... anda ya, pordió... que no saben ni qué decir cuando quieren reinterpretar y reinventarlo todo... y luego dice que  Sánchez rejects the term “feminist”... of course she would! mírenla, que hay que ubicarla en "su tiempo" y "su isla" y la otra isla y la otra y todas las malditas islas que llevamos dentro y que no es fácil, artistantos isleños reprimidos closeteados hasta que la tortimariconería explota a través del lienzo... agfapapier, barro... lo que sea... bah, que esto del'arte cada día es más circo que otra cosa y mucha miga de pan malo, que ni artesanal.
