As part of the ties between the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Americas and the NOMADE Biennial, the group exhibition of international artists "El discurso infinito" opens at MoCAA's Florida headquarters today, Saturday, November 7, at 7 p.m.
This project, which brings together 36 artists from 17 countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and the United States, is, as chief curator Hernán Pacurucu states, "An articulation of memories through three important works that constitute the model of inspiration for this exhibition. The first is 'Perfect Lovers,' a piece by Félix González Torres; the second is the song 'Amantes hasta el fin,' by composer Robi Draco Rosa; and the third, 'The Discovery of the Lovers of Sumpa' on the Santa Elena Peninsula."
"These works," Pacurucu affirms, "come together to articulate a base or conceptual core that speaks of eternal love. The project is, in brief, a kind of attempt to speak of the sensibilities of love, as Gerard Vilar expressed: the reasons of art are the unreasons of the world, love, hatred, wars. These are themes to analyze at this crucial moment in history."
The NOMADE Biennial is an independent and itinerant contemporary art platform, created in 2015 by Ecuadorian critic and curator Hernán Pacurucu and Chilean visual artist Víctor Hugo Bravo. Its proposal seeks to rethink the traditional biennial model through a decentralized format, with no permanent headquarters and no single city as its stage, fostering the gathering of artists, curators, researchers and other cultural agents from different countries. Through exhibitions, site specific interventions, residencies, workshops, publications and theoretical gatherings, NOMADE promotes collective work, interdisciplinary exchange and critical reflection on current artistic practices, establishing links between the works, the territories and the communities that host them.

The Rodríguez collection is a blueprint of Cuban art and its diaspora. Within the context of the new MoCA-Americas the collection becomes an invaluable visual source for Diaspora identity. It represents a different approach to art history to try to better understand where we come from to better know where we are heading.
