BIENVENIDOS

America is slowly but unstoppably turning into a bilingual society. As a matter of fact, in some states daily life is already bilingual. The latest surveys on this topic show that by 2044 the US is expected to be the largest Spanishspeaking country with about 130 million of Hispanics, surpassing Mexico.

Considering that English and Spanish are the two most important languages in today’s world, we can conclude that, thanks to this growing bilingualism, the US is in an ideal position for international trade as well as the labor market. Hispanics are transforming and adding to the definition of what it means to be an average American. So learning Spanish and becoming a part of this bilingual mainstream might be a good investment in your future too!

Los EE.UU. están evolucionando hacia un bilingüismo funcional. De hecho, varios estados son ya bilingües en la práctica. Y los últimos estudios señalan que los EE.UU. serán el primer país hispanohablante, por delante de México, hacia 2044 con aproximadamente 130 millones de hispanos. Si consideramos ahora que el inglés y el español son las dos lenguas más importantes hoy en el mundo, podemos concluir que los EE.UU., gracias a este creciente bilingüismo, se encontrarán en una posición ideal para afrontar el comercio internacional y el mercado de trabajo.

At Instituto Cervantes we aim to help you with a wide range of Spanish courses, an amazing library and a broad offer of cultural events that will increase the understanding between English- and Spanish-speakers.

I hope you will enjoy this program; we are open to your input and appreciate any suggestions to improve our offer! ¡Bienvenido al Instituo Cervantes!

Ignacio Olmos, Executive Director

Los hispanos están ya transformando la definición de lo que se ha entendido siempre por americano medio. Por todo ello, es el momento de considerar seriamente aprender o mejorar tu español y prepararte para el futuro de este país.

En el Cervantes te ayudamos con una amplia oferta de cursos de español, una extraordinaria biblioteca y un ambicioso programa cultural orientado a mejorar el nivel de entendimiento entre la comunidad angloparlante y la hispanohablante.

Espero que disfrutes este programa y que nos ayudes, con tus aportaciones, a mejorarlo aún más en el futuro.

DESCIFRAR /

TO DECIPHER , DECODE , FIGURE OUT

Opening! Thursday, April 23, 7pm Thru May 14 Free Admission

The coexistence of improvised writing and labor-intensive drawing are the trademarks of artist Anne Gilman. This coexistence becomes the means of processing information from both a verbal and non verbal perspective. The use of English and Spanish, side - by - side with the work of writers in the Spanish language, are frequent sources of inspiration in her artistic evolution. These writings also take on an artistic and plastic function of prime importance, parallel to her drawings. This will be confirmed by twenty works, some of them in large format.

ROUND TABLE: Descifrar/to decipher, decode, figure out Tuesday, April 28, 7 pm Free Admission While the exhibition is o view, join Brett Littman, the Executive Director of The Drawing Center, as well as Alex Zafiris,freelance writer and Senior Art Editor of Guernica Magazine, as they discuss the work of artist Anne Gilman connection with her current show in the gallery. Her large-scale drawings and multi-panel projects contain extemporaneous writing in Spanish and English about specific themes and take an analytical approach to examining ideas.

La convivencia de la escritura improvisada y del dibujo intensamente trabajado son señas de identidad de la artista Anne Gilman. Una convivencia que se transforma en medio para procesar la información desde las perspectivas tanto verbal como no verbal. La lengua española e inglesa junto a la obra de escritores en lengua española son habituales fuentes de inspiración en su devenir artístico. Escrituras que asumen también una función artística y plástica de primer orden y a la altura de sus dibujos. Una veintena de obras, algunas de gran formato, dará buena cuenta de ello.

Gallery hours Monday to Friday Saturday Sunday

11:30 - 8:30 pm 10:30 - 1:30 pm Closed

This show features a selection of the costumes, posters and furniture that Agatha Ruiz de la Prada created during more than thirty years of work. The newness and optimism that define her creations appears in all her designs, especially in her graphic productions, where spontaneous and dynamic lines are used in both the typography and the contours of shapes, and relate to her characteristic live colors, the extreme stylization of motifs and the omnipresence of her symbols: hearts, flowers and stars.

Present: Agatha Ruiz de la Prada and Tanya Meléndez, curator of Education and Public Programs The Museum at FIT La muestra ofrece una selección de los modelos, carteles y mobiliario creados por Agatha Ruiz de la Prada en sus más de treinta años de trabajo. La frescura y optimismo que define sus creaciones se manifiesta en todos sus diseños y muy especialmente en su producción gráfica, donde un trazo dinámico y espontáneo, empleado tanto para la tipografía como para los contornos de las figuras, se asocia a sus clásicos colores vivos, a la estilización extrema de los motivos y siempre a la omnipresencia de sus símbolos: corazones, flores y estrellas.

DESERT ECHOES PABLO M LURE AND SOLEDAD LEONICIO C

Opening! Thursday, July 9, 7pm Thru July 25 Free Admission Painting and sculpture come hand in hand to offer a unique experience. The work of Pablo McClure, one of the most solid productions among Chilean painting, delves into the space, the pictorial subject matter, and especially into the movement through which opposing elements come to light and give rise to new forms. The sculptures of Soledad Leonicio share similar topics of inquiry, using discarded materials that she transforms into works of art, with shapes inspired by the light and the silence of one of the most arid and enigmatic deserts in the planet: the Atacama.

Pintura y escultura se dan la mano para ofrecernos una experiencia única. La obra de Pablo McClure, una de las más sólidas de la pintura chilena, indaga sobre el espacio, la materia pictórica, y muy especialmente sobre el movimiento a través del cual, los elementos antagónicos se iluminan y dan origen a formas nuevas. Las esculturas de Soledad Leonicio comparten similares motivos de indagación utilizando materiales en desuso que transforma en obras de arte cuyas formas se inspiran en la luz y el silencio de uno de los desiertos más áridos y enigmáticos del planeta: Atacama.

A micro-play from a story by Jean Cocteau Adapted and performed by Alfredo Tauste Directed by Rafael Abolafia A micro-theater performance inspired by The Human Voice

by Cocteau. One actor. One small audience. One condensed space. Intimate theater. A victim of love waits for the call that will both give him life and take it away from him. The wait and hope filled with desperation. (In)communication, the solitude of big cities, the option of living a lie and the addictions that create emotional dependency. One everyday phone call in which what isn’t said is as important as what you hear. A tribute to everyone who is alone in NYC. Una obra de microteatro inspirada en La voz humana de Cocteau.

Un actor. Un público reducido. Un espacio condensado. Teatro íntimo. Un hombre, víctima del amor, aguarda la llamada que le dará la vida y se la quitará al mismo tiempo.

Ionesco quiso escribir una obra sobre lo que el definía cómo “La Tragedia del Lenguaje,” que acabó por convertirse en una sátira de la burguesía y sus ideales, una obra de arte sin precedentes y una experiencia teatral irrepetible.

Produced by La MicroTheatre Text by Juan Mayorga Directed by Pietro González On 18 April 1930, the Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov received a personal phone call from Stalin. The two men talked about the censorship of Bulgakov’s work, but ultimately nothing was resolved. Cartas de amor a Stalin (Love Letters to Stalin) imagines the devastating effects of that phone call on the writer, as it explores the complex relationship between power and art.

Imagine a ballet where NAO robots and humans dance to Maywa Denki’s mechanical musical orchestra, whose instruments double as witty art installations. “Robot” is a 90-minute upside down trip through a magical, topsy-turvy world in which everything becomes its other.

Imagina un ballet donde los seres humanos y robots NAO bailan al ritmo de la orquesta mecánica de Maywa Denki, cuyos instrumentos hacen también el papel de ingeniosas instalaciones artísticas. “Robots” es un viaje al revés de 90 minutos, que atraviesa un mágico mundo patas arriba, donde todo se convierte en su opuesto.

FETÉN FETÉN 

Free admission

Fetén Fetén is much more than the musical project of Jorge Arribas and Diego Galaz; it is the language of the soul turned into harmony.

The music of this singular duo is a road through the memory of our roots and traditions. Their compositions guide us through dance rhythms, through fox-trot, vals, chotis, seguidillas or habaneras, making us sway with their chords across the Iberian Peninsula and making us fly from Italy to Japan, or Argentina to Portugal.

Their live performances are a once-in-a-lifetime experience, where a perfect fusion with the public is achieved.

La música de este singular dúo es una ruta por la memoria de nuestra raíces y tradiciones.

Sus directos son una experiencia irrepetible en la que se produce una fusión perfecta con el público. Donde su música habla, sobran las palabras. Único concierto en Nueva York.

Latin Grammy Winner in 2007 for the album "I love Tango" Is the Bandoneon a living creature? It may seem so.…In the hands of a skilled musician it starts to grumble and whine, to breathe and to sing its heart out. Few people can play it like Raúl Jaurena - he literally embraces it and elicits from it the whole range of emotions that this unique instrument is able to evoke. ¿Es el bandoneón un ser viviente? Parece que sí... En manos de un virtuoso músico, comienza a gruñir y a lamentar, a respirar y a cantar con todo su corazón. Pocos pueden tocarlo como lo hace Raúl Jaurena, literalmente abrazándolo y sacando toda la gama de emociones que este instrumento único es capaz de provocar".

Retrato de Kloaka, que en 1982 inició un estado de revuelta poética en Perú bajo el radical lema "Hay que romper" con todo. Un grupo único que siguió la estela de los movimientos europeos de vanguardia, del nadaísmo colombiano o del infrarrealismo mexicano, así como del modernismo anglosajón, del movimiento beatnick y de las propuestas libertarias vinculadas al rock (Lennon) al hippismo y a la anarquía punk.

Todas estas tendencias configuraron la ideología underground de Kloaka, cuya versión peruana quiso ser andes-ground en atención a la raigambre quechua de la cultura andina.

Participants: the cofounders of Kloaka, poets Roger Santiváñez and Mariela Dreyfus; visual artist Ulla Berg, scholar Olga Rodríguez, Zachary Payne, editor of the most recent anthology about this movement, and Freddy Roncalla, who will sing songs from the period in Quechua and Spanish.
