In recent days the name of Nerja has appeared within the cultural news, but has not been by yet another tribute to Verano Azul, or by a concert of song, but from the hand of one of the most renowned English artists contemporary art. They agreed on three time time jobs expository Rogelio López Cuenca . The closest to us in terms of content and distance is at the Contemporary Art Center of Andalusia. called Cercanías and is presented as a compilation of his work that is the focus of southern Spain, with its iconography, developed through a critical topics of the state of things. Within this sample multidisciplinary can see the video installation Nerja Once, in Nerja which the artist reflects on the loss of identity of coastal tourism compared to mana. Indeed, this work seems almost displayed in our town, but finally we could not contemplate. I do not know if anyone knows the real reasons for this, or we imagine taking into account the critical spirit of the work.
In Rome, Rogelio López Cuenca paper presents Gypsies at the Academy of Spain, which satirizes the cliches strung the Gypsy, as we know through an interesting interview South in the daily and the cultural supplement of the newspaper ABC and the Andalusian edition of El Pais. And across the pond, in Bolivia, Potosí Principles can be seen that already gone through the Reina Cristina and the Haus der Kulturen Berlin.
This shows the validity of the work of our neighbor, now more than ever when we need to reflect on social and economic model that does not live precisely their best times, and makes it through images, symbols, icons that turns on the meaning inviting debate.
