Most of my "art" is performed, without any sticker, woven in the warp and weft of ordinary life... and I NEVER save a visual souvenir, a permanence... The most I do -and not always- is to write a little note about the performance.<br />
<br />
There are, however, some recurrent sets of works. "Cooking in Cuban" is one of them.<br />
<br />
CiC is very simple, and happens all the time: I can't cook in any other way but in Cuban... in spite of being a post-nationalist rootless cosmopolitan. Some times, purposely, I organise a meal and have friends over -or I cook at their place- and while preparing a "Cuban meal" I tell stories. Those stories might be related to the actual meal, my personal life, friends' etc. Some times I select the soundtrack; in other occasions, music is a random event.<br />
<br />
As a parallel act -"unrelated" to my performances- I was invited by a local NGO to cook a Cuban meal in one of their fundraising events. As soon as I get their pictures -and their website is updated- I'll be telling more about them and their "Murder in Havana" event. In the meantime, here's the poster:<br />

Time to start anew, guided by two songs: one, IMHO the quintessence of "<i>cubanidad</i>", by <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emiliano_Salvador">Emiliano Salvador</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Milan%C3%A9s">Pablito Milanes</a>; the other, by <a href="http://www.adrianomada.com/">Adrian Morales</a>, a polifacetic artist who expresses the angst and dreams of my generation, the generation who came of age in that mid 1980s Havana...<br />
