Diango Hernández Presents the Exihibition "Theoretical Beach"

The solo exhibition titled "Theoretical Beach" by Cuban artist Diango Hernández at the Museum Morsbroich in Leverkusen, Germany will remain open from May 22 to August 28. Here, Hernández has transformed the rooms of a castle to allow visitors to transit between the ocean, the beach, and the mainland, through works conceived with simple materials. "Theoretical Beach" presents the ocean as subject matter. Movement, fluctuation and the encounter with mainland serve as parallels or excuses to reference Hernández's background. Diango Hernández was born in Santi Spiritus, Cuba, in 1970. He studied industrial design and then embarked on a prominent artistic career as part of the duo Gabinete Ordo Amoris. He began his individual artistic career in Germany. For this exhibition curated by Stefanie Kreuze, Diango Hernández created mural paintings with long texts like flowing waves arranged along the central section of a castle that, as result, is transformed into a sort of aquarium where everything appears to be moving. The corner and lateral rooms serve as anchoring points for visitors to be left stranded—literally and metaphorically—on shoals; thus connected in the limit between land and ocean, as they observed the movement of the waves.
