Fear of Nostalgia<br />
solo exhibition of John Michael<br />
RusnakFototeca <strong>de</strong> <strong>Cuba</strong><br />
(Throughout February)<br />
“Shot entirely in <strong>Cuba</strong>, this work reveals<br />
to the world through the sha<strong>de</strong>s of<br />
diversity what first drew Rusnak’s<br />
attention of focus. Hoping to “encourage<br />
reflection on recent social and political<br />
mistakes and stimulate re-examination of<br />
the lost opportunities for the elusive ‘ONE<br />
WORLD’ promise of the 1960’s,” the social<br />
commentary is communicated through a<br />
series of five large format triptychs.”<br />
Extract from review by Mani De Osu<br />
Photography Fear of Nostalgia<br />
Andrew Moore: <strong>Cuba</strong><br />
"Moore’s subject is history in process, and<br />
in <strong>Cuba</strong> he finds history not just<br />
happening but time-lapsed, history<br />
waiting to take the next step. His <strong>Cuba</strong>,<br />
lively, keen-eyed, terrible and lovely, has<br />
the aspect of an unfinished collage. The<br />
craft of collage, the recombining of<br />
displaced, <strong>de</strong>commissioned things, is<br />
often cherished as a form of salvage, or<br />
even (mawkishly) as an art of re<strong>de</strong>mption.<br />
But there is no salvation or completion<br />
until each scavenged part can be<br />
persua<strong>de</strong>d to consign its origins and its<br />
traumas to the past and agree to face the<br />
future. This <strong>Cuba</strong>, unfinished and waiting,<br />
has the querulous virtue of refusing to<br />
forget.” Excerpt from introduction.<br />
