The installation/intervention by the German creator will open on Saturday at the Universal Art building of the National Museum of Fine Arts and will commemorate the centenary of the organization with a reinterpretation of the Havana site where the members of the group met periodically.

This way, the institution’s cafeteria will become an aesthetic expression, by declaring “the meetings themselves and the place as a form of living art without borders,” the press release issued by the museum said.

“The installation alludes to a bridge between the manifestos of the Minorista Group, in Havana; and the Dada group, in Berlin, illustrating the intersections and cultural connections between both cities, especially since the twenties”, the text explains.

There will also be a panel on avant-garde groups, with the historian and director of the Office of the Marti Program, Eduardo Torres Cuevas, parallel to a varied program of cultural event will take place.

In this regard, the Cafe Minorista performance and the screening of the film John Heartfield, Fotomonteur, by Helmut Herbst (1977), stand out. Heartfield is considered a major political activist who worked in a specific historic context.

The German artist’s project on Cuba is consistent with his previous work, which stands out for intervening in the reality of the everyday life and offering a diverse vision of borders.
