The first work i saw was by an artist named Tatiana Parcero from Argentina. The piece is titled "Re-Invento #25 (torso vendas)" the medium is lambda and acetate print.The piece is a mixture of photography and acetate print. A lambda c-type print is a digital print produced using Durst's Lambda machine – a photographic printing machine that uses three lasers (RGB – red, green and blue) merged into one beam to produce digital c-type prints on light-sensitive silver halide materials. The symbols around the photograph are printed on clear sheets of acetate and give the image a sense of depth and help them stand out from the otherwise dark mood of the print.
The second print is by a cuban artist named Sandra Ramos. The piece is titled "Problems with the Scale". It is a lithograph print which is an illustration printed from a stone block or a smooth metal plate. The piece shows a woman balancing a scale with what appears to be George Washington on one end and a man on another. I assume one represents America the other the cuban people and the woman cuba itself. The figures are highly detailed. Some parts of the piece appear hand drawn like the characters bodies. While the faces of the woman are Washington are clearly images taken from photographs. It seems to be suggesting that Cuba prefers to protect the interests of foreigners more than its own people.
My visit to Molaa was pretty fun. A new exhibit had just opened so the museum was pretty full. Admission is free on sunday so if you have time i would recommend checking it out. The museum is not so big so you can pretty much see everything it has to offer without getting overwhelmed. They change most of the main pieces on display pretty often so there is always something new to see.
