PRISMA 6 - CORPUS

Poetry of the Human Figure

CALL FOR ARTISTS The body is the temple. The body is the confluence of disparate senses. The realization of a symbolic realm. An aesthetic possibility… In this edition of our Prisma contest, we will approach the body as the axis of multiple poetics. We are interested in exploring the paths that Cuban artists have traveled from and to the body, starting from a purely anatomical dimension to a metaphorical vision. The human figure, which is one of the great themes of art, will be the motif for recreation. The technique, medium, and genre of the pieces will be free. Limits will only be set in terms of dimensions, with the aim of organizing an exhibition at our Havana headquarters with the finalist pieces. The competing works must be displayed or reproduced on the web pages, accounts, or social media profiles of their authors. Considering the growing importance of Internet platforms in the socialization, promotion, and marketing of artistic production, the jury will particularly value the creativity with which the pieces are presented on the chosen networks. The goal is to encourage the use of forms that contribute to a better positioning of the works in the digital realm; these can be videos associated with the creation processes, comments from the artists, images that allow contextualizing the pieces… or any creative resource that the author proposes. The exhibition Prisma 6 shows the winners of the Call For Artists of the same name
