Cuba, exposición, arte, conemporáneo, museo
Havana, Jul 19 (Prensa Latina) In a collective exhibition, the work by five teams of Cuban architects on Tuesday takes the pulse to the dream to build a Museum of Contemporary Art in Cuba, an ancient aspiration of the island's culture.

Under the title “From the real museum to the imagined museum,” the exhibition combines the talents of the Choy-Leon, U+D Arquitectura, A.R.O, AD Urbis, H(R)G_Arquitectura, Apropia and D Cero studios, from the National Museum of Fine Arts.

According to the institution, the exhibition will feature Felipe Dulzaides as a luxury guest, as he advocates “the concept that the first museum object is its own architecture, which will play a prominent role in the urban context.”

The text also highlights “the plural conception of the projects”, in coherence with the current aesthetic languages, without ignoring the “challenges and controversies” about the architecture of spectacle associated with large museums.

Aspiration by artists, managers, curators, institutions and citizens, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Havana has the purpose of showing the value of the building as a dynamizer of the context in which it is located as well as its purpose as a reservoir of art.
