No New Blogging Until Spring of 2009

Unfortunately, all of our blog postings are being put on hold until the Spring of 2009. There are several reasons for this, but the main reason is family priorities. We'll continue to keep our websites and art resources current and blog again next year.

Best Wishes for the New Year!

CIRCA Puerto Rico 09
Caribbean and Latin American Art


CIRCA Puerto Rico 09
April 17 -20 2009
The First International Art Fair in the Caribbean
San Juan, Puerto Rico (Fourth Edition)

CIRCA PR 09, fourth edition of the premier international art fair in the Caribbean and Central America, will be held from April 17 - April 20, 2009 at the new Puerto Rico Convention Center in San Juan.

THE CONCEPT FOR A CHALLENGING ART FAIR
In such a competitive world of art fairs, what makes CIRCA PR different? A quote from Artnet's editor Walter Robinson: "Well-organized and welcoming, Circa PR 08 presented an intimate collection of mostly emerging but sophisticated art". It's an art fair that's small in scale with 35 commercial galleries, and the friendly and exotic setting of Puerto Rico makes it a very nice distination. CIRCA PR redefines and embodies the concept of the ultimate art fair: intimate while intellectually challenging allowing gallerists, collectors and other art professionals to interact on a more personal one-to-one basis.

Open to galleries with an international focus on Modern and Contemporary art, especially young emerging art presenting painting, new media, installation, photography, sculpture, and video.

Simulacrum is essential in the paintings and installations of Ronald Morán. Morán creates totally static environments, mise en scene void of human characters. The subjects for Morán’s soft and quiet paintings depict household items or accessories of violence sheathed in a white nebulous material. Installations are often domestic or familiar spaces covered with white industrial cotton. Morán’s goal is to neutralize his subject and represent the impact of contemporary society’s lack of sensitivity to violence and the definitions of our domestic roles. For his first solo exhibition at Pan American Art Projects Morán will create an installation with a more political edge addressing our energy and environmental crisis.


Born in Chalchuapa, El Salvador n 1972, Morán studied art at Centro Nacional de Artes San Salvador and Universidad Dr. José Matías Delgado San Salvador. Morán has had twelve solo shows in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico. He has participated in group shows throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. In 2007, he represented El Salvador at the Venice Biennale.
