In 2019, Juan Roberto Diago created several
installations in the conceptual likeness of
shantytowns in Cuba, each one an homage to an
actual impoverished neighborhood on the island
- Belén, El Fanguito, Los Positos, La Timba,
Los Sitios, and others.
Like much of the physical architecture of the
neighborhoods they depict, these works are
built from found and discarded materials, an
authentic and meta-textual technique
the
artist has employed throughout his career.
These unique installations were constructed
specifically for the exhibition, Juan Roberto Diago:
20 Years of Creation, Cernuda Arte, Coral Gables,
FL, November 2019 – January 2020.
Each work is accompanied by a Photo-Certificate
of Authenticity, signed by the artist.
