(2014) (3- 2013.9) ‘Cabai Blauw’ – Blue Horse. Museum de Fundatie Zwolle, Netherlands.
Exposition Two hundred years of Tropical Kingdom.
The exhibition presents ‘Tropical Kingdom’, organized on the occasion of the celebration of ‘200 years of Kingdom. The guest curator of ‘Tropical Kingdom’ is art historian and publicist Maarten Jager. In this overview, he draws attention to the latest developments in art from the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The most representative representatives of the various art disciplines are represented in the exhibition. These include internationally oriented Caribbean, multicultural painting and sculpture, video, film, photography, ceramics and conceptual art including installations. Their art is shown mainly in the Caribbean itself and in Central America, particularly at the international biennials of Santo Domingo and Cuba. While expressive art from the Caribbean often transcends the local, the residents’ search for their own identity plays an important role in their art. The African and Indian heritage of Caribbean artists is obvious. In addition, the influence of Europe, Central America and even the Near East is manifest within the mix of cultures, because artists on Aruba in particular have Lebanese ancestors. In addition to the diaspora, the history of the islands, myths and customs, religion and the current socio-political situation are important themes in Caribbean art. Four centuries of Caribbean art are highlighted through 500 works of art. This exhibition at El Museo del Barrio, the Queens Museum of Art and the Studio Museum was preceded by ten years of research. ‘HP Horse Power’ When the connection is strong, the engines start and the fly begins to turn.
