Selections from the Ella Fontanals-Cisneros Collection and its presentation at the Museo Nacional de Bella Artes in Havana, Cuba.  Curated by Osbel Suárez, the exhibition will coincide with the 11th Havana Biennial, taking place from May 11 - June 11, 2012, and will remain open to the public through August 20, 2012. This exhibit marks the first time a complete exhibition containing works from the contemporary art holdings of the Ella Fontanals-Cisneros Collection are exhibited outside of CIFO’s walls.

The exhibition, CIFO: Una mirada múltiple, does not adopt the usual chronological approach of organizing the pieces according to their dates, which range from the second half of the twentieth century to the present day. Instead, it showcases a cross section of the collection and presents to the public a compilation of works by over 65 artists from North America, Latin America, Africa, Europe and Asia, who have witnessed and played key roles in changes that have occurred in the most significant trends in art over the last fifty years.

Me refiero al dueto integrado por Frances Trombly y Leyden Rodríguez-Casanova, quienes por primera vez aúnan fuerzas en una exposición a cuatro manos.

Come Together es el título de la muestra que, inspirada en la popular canción de los Beatles, abre sus puertas al público en el Bass Museum of Arts de Miami Beach y donde la pareja logra una acertada simbiosis de estilos.

The artists are married with a child, steadfast Miamians and given to deceptively simplistic work, playing with the notion of the breathtakingly banal.

Who will pick up the kid from day care? Who will throw out the trash? Who will scoop up the dog poop? Who will decide who decides? Frances Trombly and Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova are both prolific Miami artists who happen to be married. They have been partners the past decade, and working side-by-side in a studio while raising a toddler daughter Penelope and Mowgli their pet black Shepherd dog is part of their domestic discipline and collaborative work ethic.

Both artists will create intriguing installations inspired by everyday objects. Trombly’s sculptures of mops, blank canvases and painters’ drop cloths fool the eye. These things appear to be mass-produced, but in fact they have been meticulously hand-stitched, crocheted and embroidered. Rodriguez-Casanova works with home-decorating items in an attempt to deconstruct the domestic environment. His installation will feature a section of ceiling, vertical blinds and a chandelier, skewed at an angle. In a third installation the couple will combine their efforts merging the hand-made and mass produced, using contrasting elements that are either organically soft or rigidly structured.
