Lima got dressed-up the evening of May 7, 2008 to hit the town with gusto for "La Semana del Arte" kick-off.

The arts week got started in the Barranco district and was followed by galleries in Miraflores, San Isidro and historic downtown Lima.  In its fourth year, la semana del arte has become a crowd pleaser for art lovers, artists, gallery owners, collectors and everyone who shows-up for the free spirits.

This year's art week was specially noteworthy since it coincided with the start of the EU delegates APEC Summit.

Rock -on Lima! 

El Ojo de la Puerta (Peephole)

Jorge Vera

La serie  "El Ojo de la Puerta" (“Peephole”), es un recorrido voyueristico a través de South Beach, Florida, la noche del 31 de octubre de 2001.

Esta  celebración espontanea toma lugar año-a-año, fecha en que se congregan cientos  de personas en la via peatonal de Lincoln Road, en Miami Beach. Muchas transgrediendo limites de genero y  representando personajes arquetípicos milenarios.  

South Beach es un lugar que atrae a muchos por su ambiente libre de inhibiciones y su propensidad a un narcisismo casi institucional, reminicente de la Antigua Grecia. Lugar donde la prefección y la efimera belleza es la medida de todas las cosas.

La serie fue realizada utilizando un lente óptico especial creado por el artista, emulando el efecto de ver a través de una mirilla o, el ojo de una  puerta.  A razon de la compresión optica  y el amplio angulo visual, la distancia del lente-al-sujeto es de 15 cm. Creando asi un acercamiento intimo que busca el detalle en cada parte de la imagen.   

La obra de Vera ha sido exhibida en decenas de galerías y museos a traves de Florida y los Estados Unidos, con muestras en el Bass Museum of Art (Miami Beach), Fort Lauderdale Art Museum, Orlando Museum of Art, Museum of Art Youngstown, Ohio, Sara Moody Gallery en University of Alabama y Caelum Gallery en Nueva York, entre otros. 

 

Hung all 10 photos from "El Ojo de la Puerta" series, plus a sculpture/box installation.

No nudes from "Fertility" this time. Those photos will have to wait until another show.

No color either.

Here's "In Human Form":



By the way, it's a child in a Halloween mask on Lincoln Road Mall, Miami Beach.

Ten images from my Peephole (El Ojo de la Puerta) series will be shown at PPPP Gallery, in Barranco, starting on May 7, 2008 (opening 7:30 p.m.). I'll also be showing a few new color photographs (very lage) and a series of b&w and solarized images from the "Fertility" series I did in the late 1990s. I'm hanging the show this morning, so later this day I'll be able to say exactly which pieces made it onto the walls.

Sharing the gallery space with me is fiber artist Cristina Colichon, who is presenting woven sculptures, "Trama."

Address for PPPP Gallery: Avenida Grau 810, Barranco.

The show is part of the weeklong "Semana del Arte Lima 2008" and the Wednesday "Gallery Nights Barranco" events. Other venues in Barranco that will be participating in Gallery Night include the Museo Pedro de Osma, MAC (Museo de Art Contemporaneo de Lima), Dedalo Galeria and Drama Centro de Art Contemporaneo.
