Art Market at the 11th Biennial

This Wednesday merged, among sessions before the official opening ceremony of Havana’s 11^th Biennial, the intense mounting work carried out by the artists –in each of the venues– with two proposals of local galleries and companies that speak of an institutional strategy aimed at boosting Cuban art market. It’s, undoubtedly, an excellent experience, since an important amount of collectors, curators, heads of public and private institutions from all over the world will be visiting the Cuban capital.

We received the collective exhibition Chaos from Galeria Habana, which represents some of the most internationally acclaimed Cuban artists, with an “established” market; while several institutions gathered efforts to conceive the second edition of HB, an exquisite exhibition held at Pabexpo.

So, Havana puts together curatorial success and projects to promote several generations of Cuban creators, as well as making the actions carried out by related institutions more profitable.
