A groundbreaking exhibition organized by Alberto Magnan and Dara Metz (of Magnan Projects) as part of the 10th Annual Havana Biennial.  Chelsea visits Havana offers the Cuban art community and general public a window into the current art scene in New York.  A sign of the changing times, Chelsea visits Havana is also the first major group show to be accepted by both countries and approved for exhibition in the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Cuba’s renowned national arts museum.  It has been over twenty (20) years that a large-scale show of this kind has been mounted, and fifty (50) years since artworks have been directly shipped from the United States to Cuba.  Ten of the artists traveled to Havana for the historic event.

All of the featured artists are represented by galleries in the New York City neighborhood of Chelsea, regarded as one of the international epicenters of contemporary art. Chelsea visits Havana brings a broad but representative selection of contemporary art into the context of the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, fostering cross-cultural ties through visual means.  Thirty-three (33) artists, both established and emerging, from 28 galleries will be on exhibit at Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes from March 28 – May 17, 2009.

A full-color, dual language catalogue of Chelsea visits Havana will accompany the exhibition and is available for purchase through Fundacion Amistad’s website www.fundacionamistad.org
