PABLO CANO: Workshop Drawings & Marionette Sculpture August 3 – September 18 Born in Havana, Cuba in 1961, Pablo Cano was on the last flight out of the country before the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. He has since been a resident of Miami’s Little Havana, and is regarded by art patrons and critics alike as one of Florida’s premier contemporary fine artists.
Since childhood, marionettes have fascinated Pablo. His work centers around the marionettes that he fashions from found objects, and the performance pieces he composes to showcase these protagonists. By incorporating carefully selected discarded debris from the urban streets he frequents, as well as miscellany brought to his studio by friends from all over the world, Cano has ultimately developed his own charming and inventive palette of bricolage that has been described as unlike any other artist’s today.
This year marks Pablo’s ninth solo exhibition and performance at The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in North Miami, Florida. City Beneath the Sea opens in October 2006 with performances running through Art Basel Miami Beach, December 2006.
Join us in the Frieda and Roy Furman Gallery at The Walter Reade Theater for a remarkable exhibit of Cano’s never-before-exhibited workshop drawings and magical marionette sculpture.
