Raúl Cordero represents through his work the “other Cuban art”. Far from the standards of Revolution art, and without falling into topics of other artists from in and out of the island, Cordero “samples” pretexts whimsically obtained from various referential origins (press, magazines, books, TV, photography and video) and shows us his work as a result of recycling, of a revival, creating a new reality that refers more to Art than to any other apparent content.
The texts of Bruce Ferguson, Barry Schwabsky and Kevin Power and the interview with Omar-Pascual Castillo go deep into the universe of this artist, who with false frivolousness and irony, subverts, provokes and questions the proper essence of what he produces at every instant.
