Synopsis: At a time when borderless communication is assumed to be the global standard and economic powers no longer adhere to old boundaries of East and West, Cuba is a country caught in flux States of Exchange explores how artists in Cuba deal with the contradictions, ambiguities and social negotatiations in Cuban life, leading a critical culture that prevails in the country since the mid-1980s. With contributions from the exhibition's curators - leading Cuban curator and writer Gerardo Mosquera on the history and context of current Cuban art and UK-based Cylena Simonds on the exhibition's themes of economic and communication exchange - this book also includes texts by different writers focusing on the six exhibiting artists: Ivan Capote, Yoan Capote, Jeanette Chavez, Diana Fonseca, Wilfredo Prieto and Lazaro Saavedra. In addition, the book features a unique survey of current video practice in Cuba by Mailyn Machado, exploring its status as an alternative means for creatively investigating and exchanging knowledge about the country's historical past and social present.
