Cleveland Institute of Art Assistant Professor of Art
History David C. Hart presents an illustrated
lecture on Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons.
Multimedia artist Maria-Magdalena Campos-Pons was
born in Cuba in 1959, the year of the Revolution, and
immigrated to the United States in 1990. Unable to
return to her homeland, her work during the past
decade became a vehicle to explore her identity as a
Cuban woman of African ancestry, addressing memory,
dislocation, race, gender, and family. In a series of
three installations created in the 1990s titled The
History of People Who Were Not Heroes Campos-Pons
combined photography, sculpture, video and
performance in tributes to her ancestors, the slaves
and laborers who worked on sugar plantations and as
domestics in Cuba.

Spring Fling with Don King |
 |
Friday April 30, 2004
Opening Reception
7-11 pm
Paradise Gallery
2199 Lee Road, Cleveland Heights
(7 doors south of The Cedar-Lee Theatre)
Featuring the works of painters Don King, David
Szekeres, and Gisela Towner
Show Runs From April 30, 2004 through May 22,
2004
Ohio artist Don King uses music to link his emotions
with the movement and rhythm of his gorgeous
abstract compositions. Teaming conscious
experimentation, spontaneity, and unconventional
painting methods, King works with polyurethane glazes
and spray enamel on hardboard and linen. David
Szekeres paints breathtaking, often thought provoking
images ranging from cityscapes to dreamscapes. Gisela
Towner's popular pastels focus on the beauty found in
the industrial heart of our city. Together, these three
artists help us to create a comfortable balance
between our inner and outer worlds.
