Biographies
José Luis Falconi is Fellow at the Department of History of Art and Architecture at Harvard University, where he received his Ph.D. in Romance Languages and Literatures in 2010. He has contributed to several journals as writer, and among the publications he has co-edited are The Other Latinos: Central and South Americans in the United States with José Antonio Mazzotti and A Principality of its Own: 40 Years of Visual Art at the Americas Society along with Gabriela Rangel. Falconi has curated more than twenty exhibitions of work by emergent Latin American artists. His latest book, Ad Usum/To be Used: The Works of Pedro Reyes, was published in 2013.
Candelario’s artistic identity means being a director on day, an architect the next and a mechanic the following. His creative process is informed by the daily interaction with others; residing less in the finished result than in the realm of ideas. He has exhibited widely in Latin America and Europe and participated in numerous artist residencies. LASA is considered one of Cuba’s most innovative contemporary art projects.
