The Minister of Culture and Tourism, Pedro Alberto Cruz, this morning the second cycle of exhibitions at the Contemporary Art Center Conservera, which opens tomorrow (at 19.00, Avenida de Lorqui, s / n, Ceuta) and shall remain until on 22 November.
This second cycle has exhibitions of artists Rosalía Banet, Annika von Hausswolff, Marilyn Minter and Mickalene Thomas, who also participated in the presentation and programming coordinator, Pablo del Val.
Cruz, who recalled that "each cycle is designed in a compact, so that from different points of view always reflects on a particular issue", explained that these four exhibitions "are a reflection on the female identity concept that is linked closely to the body, where gender staged. "
In the four samples can appreciate the dual strategy pursued by the woman to decide, from the feminist movement started in the 60, how to build your own body.
On the one hand, "the suppression of the body canon imposed by patriarchal society" and another, "the capacity of women has had to, understanding the codes used to represent man, disable them by his irony, his sarcasm and in short, the critical transformation. "
These four artists share common concerns and interests and used to support the woman's body, focusing on female identity, sensuality, ambiguity, theatricality and feedback in different art forms.
Rosalía Banet presented in the new sample space Oval 'The Greedy, Canned Sweet and Sour', its largest installation to date, which has been produced entirely by The Canning.
The work is central to two twins that have created a bittersweet cannery, a small family business where they cook dishes made with their own feelings.
The exhibition is divided into two sections, the first one in the Canning, which reproduces the factory with all employees (pairs of conjoined twins) and the different departments.
A few meters away, inside the town of Ceuta, one can visit the factory shop where visitors can sample and buy what is produced there (fresh tongues, fetuses in bloom, dry eyes, etc.).
The Canning has published a special issue of Vanity Fear dedicated to the twins.

His work is characterized by the evocation of conflicting feelings of discomfort and macabre curiosity through stories and glimpses of the unexpected in the everyday.
These spaces will showcase works in wood, a selection of photographs focusing on the body of the woman and two of his last series, released in Spain.
The Canning has published a catalog for the exhibition with texts by Lars-Erik Hjertström Lappalainen and Rocío de la Villa.
For its part, Minter examines the relationship between photography and the painted image, in particular the ways in which these media reflect and influence our understanding of gender, sexuality and desire.
His large paintings, often exaggerated close-ups, show tremendous detail and a subversive approach to the glamor.

The patterns of clothing, bedding, wall coverings and upholstery, are mostly inspired by the cultural identity of the artist.
This space will present different paintings and photographs of the artist.
In the background, The Canning has been a facility "in situ" which recreates the atmosphere of the living room of his grandmother in the 70's, a type of scene that the artist often created as a setting for his photographs.
