Implied Interaction: Selected Works from the CINTAS Foundation Fellows Collection

Implied Interaction: The Role of Participant, Artist and Viewer 
in selected works from the CINTAS Foundation Fellows Collection
February 24 – July 17, 2016

A selection of nine works from the CINTAS Foundation Fellows Collection, Implied Interaction explores the artists’ imprint on and/or interaction with a specific work. Whether implied or explicit, each artwork exemplifies how the viewer forms a lasting conversation to complete each piece. Artists represented in this exhibition are past winners of the prestigious CINTAS Foundation Fellowship in Visual Arts that honors artists of Cuban descent, including Felipe Dulzaides, Coco Fusco, Guerra de la Paz, Jillian Mayer, Ana Mendieta, Gean Moreno, Ernesto Oroza and Ernesto de la Vega Pujol. The exhibition is a brief encounter with each artist’s esteemed practice and provides a glimpse into the depth of the prestigious CINTAS Foundation Fellows in Visual Arts.

Since 2011, the CINTAS Foundation has entrusted MDC’s Museum of Art + Design to serve as stewards of the CINTAS Fellows Collection, comprised of nearly 300 pieces by artists of Cuban descent living outside Cuba who have received prestigious CINTAS Fellowships, awarded since 1963.
