LEADING ARTISTS UNITE TO CELEBRATE CUBA IN 100 HOUR LONDON EXHIBITION
Leading artists from around the UK and Europe have united to communicate and celebrate iconic art and culture from Cuba. The ‘100 Pieces of Havana’ initiative has been commissioned by Havana Club rum, and will showcase 100 artist’s interpretations of Cuba within a One hundred hour-long exhibition in London this summer.
A diverse range of creative talent has been bought together to create the exclusive exhibition, designed to bring to life through modern art the vibrant energy, passion and spirit of contemporary Cuba and the Cuban way of life. The 100 artists have come from the worlds of graffiti, illustration, photography, fashion design, fine art and sculpture and will use their favourite form of art and design to convey what Havana and Havana Club means to them – culminating in 100 unique artistic master pieces. Artists include global graffiti legend Mode2, UK street artist Kid Acne, tattoo artist Cubanbee, fashion designer Russell Maurice and contemporary sculpture artist Jethro Haynes – to name but a few.
Havana Club is one of Cuba’s most famous and prolific exports and is considered one of the best Cuban ambassadors worldwide. The iconic logo, strong heritage and vibrant history has made it a sought -after brand loved by artists and talent all over the world.
Jo Spencer Head of marketing for Havana Club, comments:
“Havana Club embodies the true sprit and passion of the Cuban people and their country. We are delighted to be able to bring together some of today’s finest artistic talent to convey their take on contemporary Cuba to a London audience.”
100 Pieces of Havana has been curated by Intercity and will take place from the 23rd – 28th July 2008 at the Dray Walk Gallery, Truman Brewery, London E1.
