Arte No Es Fácil

Co-created by

Amor Pirata

Arte No Es Fácil (art ain’t easy) is a project based in creating relationships beyond pictures between Cuba and the U.S. through the manifestation of art. The project looks for similarities between the practices of emerging artists in Havana and Chicago. It seeks to establish connections between artists separated by location and context, yet who share an interest in art through form, content or strategy.

Using the idea of “the exhibition” as a manifestation of the state of encounter between two or more collaborating artists, Amor Piratahas created collaborative pairings of artists split between Chicago and Havana. Participants are now working together to collaborate on a piece, represent one another’s work in the alternate context, or create a visual, performative or dialogic entity of their choosing to be exhibited at Links Hall and later in 2012 in Havana, Cuba.
