dear friends of cifo, |
Welcome to the fourth issue of our monthly e-letter!
We hope that this e-letter will help you stay up-to-date with information about
cifo´s
upcoming events and exhibitions.
This fall, our exhibition Shifting Constructs, which opened on
September 13th, showcases the work of the 8 award recipients from cifo´s
2009 Grants & Commissions Program. cifo
presents newly commissioned works by the award recipients of both programs in
one single exhibition. The six emerging artists who were awarded grants are:
Miguel Amat (Venezuela),
Gabriel Antolínez (Colombia),
Suwon Lee (Venezuela), Juan
León (Ecuador), Ricardo Réndon
(Mexico) and José Ruiz (Peru). The two mid-career artists selected as recipients of the Commissions Award are
Dora Longo Bahia (Brazil)
and Oscar Muñoz (Colombia).
In this special occasion cifo
opened its doors to the public that walked excitedly through its galleries
gazing at the proposals of eight new artists from Latin
America. Ms. Ella Fontanals-Cisneros, cifo´s Founder and
Chairman of the Board, greeted guests with some opening words, "It has
been a pleasure to work with these artists over the past months and we thank
them for this wonderful and exciting show." She especially thanked EFG
International for its generous support with this exhibition and its 2010 tour
in Latin America.
cifo is already preparing itself for the arrival of Art Basel Miami
Beach, with an exhibition drawn from the Ella
Fontanals-Cisneros Collection that will open to the public on December 2nd and be
on display until March 7, 2010.
