Miami, FL – December 2, 2019 – On Monday evening, guests gathered at the Miami Design District for an intimate cocktail reception honoring Juan Carlos Maldonado Art Collection. Using Hybridizations/ Contemporary Strategies as the title, The Juan Carlos Maldonado Art Collection (JCMAC) gives continuity to the exhibition project which it initiated four years ago. Since then, its objective has been to promote the study of modern and contemporary art on an international level, emphasizing the practices of Latin American artists. On this occasion–coming right after sharing part of its cultural heritage of geometric abstraction and of the original cultures of the Venezuelan South–the Ye’kwana–it focuses its attention on one of the most common strategies among artists of our time: the will, and even the need to hybridize pre-existing languages, techniques and strategies, in whatever field they work in, with the aim of having these express the cultural and structural complexity of the urban centers and the nations we inhabit.
