Latin American Art Museum in Amersfoort (Lakme)
Lakme started a foundation dedicated to Gausachs Spanish artist José. Gausachs was an artist who emigrated from Spain during the Spanish Civil War, before the Second World War. For many, Gausachs is an unknown name, however, is of great importance for the history of America Latina. He was the disciple of great masters such as Felix Isidre Nonell and Mestre. Paris cultivated friendships with other painters of his time as Amadeo Modigliani, Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. E 'was praised by intellectuals such as Tristan Tzara, whose friendship and support Gausachs made a big difference in exile. On the other hand, was praised by the great writers of the time: Hemingway bought one of his paintings, and the poet Carles Ribas a poem dedicated to the great painter after the opening of the latest exhibition in Barcelona Gausac.
The Gausac Art Foundation has undertaken the project of creating the first museum in the Netherlands dedicated to the Spanish, Mexican, Caribbean, Central and South American contemporary art. The museum collection will serve as a gateway for cultural exchange between Latin America and the diversity of the population of the Netherlands. The museum offers extensive research and study opportunities with House Latin American Cultural Center through various exhibitions and programs.
ALI: What inspired you to start a museum of Latin American art in the Netherlands?
Lakme: We have seen that there was no need for a macro system for support on a non-profit organization to promote Latin American culture and the arts. We had a good harvest, but not much support, when there was a proposal for a show that always leave the Latin American embassies here. The embassy, however, does not have a budget of several years who is working with a budget of one year. They are not interested in something that could happen in three years, and I do not know if it is still to be established in the country. The other museums side has total exposure times for years to come, and the need for programming long sponsorship. There was the problem in order to create movement and interest Latin American Art, whose effects may be felt in the trade, political dialogue, education, macro organization need to be in place to solidify the foundations of all small and that cultural services of embassies. Us a concept of "unity is strength." We started a little 'less than three years, there have been a number of stakeholders who need to network with the embassies and artists, and we finally had enough momentum going to start the screening of a museum. What city was thought it would be more wanted in a big museum and prestige. Amsterdam and The Hague considered, however, he settled in The Hague, which is where the embassies and there is higher status people. This is a politically charged cultural center. There is a new rail system under development at this time, that will bring the passengers directly from Paris. There is a large business unit to meet your office facilities there. This way people can see that there is a market potential of Latin American art.
ALI: art as in the last 5-10 years, Latin America has been received in Europe?
Lakme: It 's considered very high. This is indisputable, in the sense that Latin America is finding an audience in Europe. When the work of American artists traveling to Europe, the value increases and becomes more interesting. The Europeans are the investors and explorers are interested in new and emerging artists and stories. We have had exhibitions of Frida Kahlo, Javier Marin, art history, Cuba has been a great success. The sector is certainly growing. This is the first museum of Latin American art in Europe. There is a gallery in Zurich, but it is not a museum. This is the first indication is that the interest is growing and many large companies are being created in the region.
ALI: What was the exhibition of Latin American Art in major European museums Lakme first?
Lakme: There were fewer activities. Over the past three years have seen more movement, there was a synergy happened at the same time-the time is right. Europe is always looking for North America, there is great interest in art and Latin American business in North America, Europe tends to be late for these results. Now it's time for Europe.
ALI: Where would you say are hot spots for Latin American art at the moment?
Lakme: Spain and Italy, but of course this can be seen as an opportunity to expand the market in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. There is an interest, but lack the presence of a strong organization to achieve impressive exhibitions to ensure support government and large companies who want their brands to the eye. This is the economic structure is based on this idea at this time.
ALI: In terms of European interest in Latin American art, which is more popular now?
Lakme: This is really yet to be discovered, we open a new chapter. There are many different installations of modern art, graffiti Brazil. The municipality of Rotterdam, also created the space for graffiti to be held in the streets. The Netherlands invests heavily in their art and culture. There is a large population of Latinos and a large population of Latinos in the Netherlands. This should give an indication of how things are going increasing.
ALI: What are you trying to do by 2010? Have you been affected by the current economic situation?
Lakme: Next year we are delighted to have an exhibition of Cuba and the Dominican Republic and some very impressive artists of Spain and Latin America.
Of course, the economic crisis has had an effect, at the same time, also gave cohesion to the community for this to happen. All cultural services felt the effects of the crisis and held a meeting sponsored by Venezuelan Embassy to discuss how to finance the cultural affairs in times of crisis like this. Many financial advisers have offered their services for free. We meet to give Check out this face to face as a community.
