José Yaque: Alluvione d’Arno/Arno River Flood

The show entitled “José Yaque, Alluvione d’Arno” curated by Ilaria Mariotti at Villa Pacchiani in Santa Croce sull’Arno is part of the Know-how / Show-how a geography of relationships for Systems of vision / Systems of reality Arts Project.

The show provides a series of reflections on questions regarding the sustainability of operations in the world today: on the life of objects and materials, the idea of recovery, the idea of waste as representative of the idea of the identity of our territories, and on all these processes in action. An exponent of Cuba’s creative production at international level, José Yaque is one of the artists selected for display in the Cuba Pavilion this year’s Venice Biennial. The artist will be presenting two large installations expressly conceived for inside and outside the Villa Pacchiani exhibition center: a set of paintings and drawings made over the last few years and a collection of new drawings linked directly to the this project.
