QuintaPata Artists Exhibit “Move the Rock”

Contemporary Dominican artists show their at the Cultural Center of Spain beginning of January 15 to February 22

QuintaPata emerged as an artistic movement that reflects on the reality of contemporary art in the Dominican Republic.

“Move the Rock” (“Mover la Roca”) is the first exhibition project put on by QuintaPata, an association of contemporary artists that includes Tony Capellán, Pascal Meccariello, Raquel Paiewonsky, Jorge Pineda and Belkis Ramírez. The show is being curated by Fernando Castro Flórez, a Spaniard and one of the most influential curators on the international art scene.

The artists are broaching themes that question personal and social issues. Each artist is presenting two projects, all working in different mediums such as video, photography, drawing installation and sculpture.

QuintaPata and the Cultural Center of Spain have prepared a unique program in which, every Wednesday from 10 to 3 pm, the public are invited to take a guided visit of the exhibition with the artists themselves.

They will also be giving children’s workshop and various conferences such as “To Dialogue with Art,” “Out of Joint: Notes on Crazy Art,” among others.
