"It’s been said that some of the best things in life come in threes. For evidence of this, look no further than the annual Santa Fe Art Trifecta (July 7–17), a 10-day festival-slash-alliance among three massive arts organizations (and festivals in their own right): International Folk Art Alliance, SITE Santa Fe, and Art Santa Fe." – AFAR

The city’s modern and contemporary art organization has an expanded program, and it’s outstanding.

This summer ART Santa Fe is thrilled to offer fair-goers the chance to view the award-winning documentary film, Alumbrones, by filmmaker Bruce Donnelly and Lost Boy Productions and DKR Films. This film focuses on the life and work of a dozen contemporary Cuban artists, offering a rare view into the struggles, vibrancy, and turbulence of Cuba’s history and culture. The timing of this documentary, at the cusp of a rush of great changes due to the shifting relationship between Cuba and the United States in the past year, is particularly significant.

Bruce Donnelly, a South African born filmmaker who moved to New York in 2006 to pursue his film career, was fascinated with Cuba from a very early age. On a trip to Boston, Donnelly made a fortuitous trip into an art gallery featuring the work of Cuban artists. His interest was piqued and the idea for a documentary film about Cuba as seen through the lens of its contemporary artists began to develop. Donnelly immediately began to research and plan. About a year later he made his first trip to Cuba, meeting some of the artists he had been in contact with. A few months later Donnelly returned with a small crew and the filming of the documentary began.

Logistically, filming in Cuba presented numerous challenges to overcome, however, Donnelly and his crew found richness and complexity in the world they encountered which made any struggles well worth it. The title of the film itself reflects a distinctive attitude and humor which they encountered. Alumbrones was a term coined to mean “unexpected, short-lived bursts of light,” as opposed to apagones which is word for blackouts. Blackouts were so frequent in Cuba, particularly during the “Special Period” following the collapse of the Soviet Union, that blackouts were more the norm and alumbrones, brief periods of electricity, were the exception.

Although their art is quite diverse, there is something which seems to unify the twelve artists (Pedro Pablo Oliva, Sandra Dooley, Luis Rodriguez NOA, Eduardo Guerra, Orestes Gaulhiac, Isolina Limonta, Yamile Pardo, Edel Bordón, Darian Rodriguez Medevos, Luis Toledo del Rio, Luis Miguel Perez Ilanez, and Raimon Rodriguez Moya) interviewed in Alumbrones, who range in age from their mid 60’s to late teens and early 20’s. Through the words and images of these artists, Alumbrones illuminates the spirit of Cuba, its history, its challenges and unique perspective.

The presentation of Alumbrones is just one part of ART Santa Fe’s ongoing project to create a truly international art experience at the fair. Fair-goers will be pleased to discover the work of several of the artists featured in the film at ART Santa Fe at the booth of Conde Contemporary of Miami. Alumbrones will be on view from 10 – 12 July. To learn more about Alumbrones contact ART Santa Fe at http://www.artsantafe.com or 505 988 8883.
