Pan American Art Projects is pleased to announce What Does All the Blue in the Sea Have that the Sky Doesn’t?, a solo exhibition by Mabel Poblet, a Cuban artist who lives and works between Havana, Miami, and Madrid. The exhibition includes a large volume of works previously exhibited in the show Where the Oceans Meet, held by the artist at CHANEL Nexus Hall, an art center in Tokyo, Japan, focused on showcasing contemporary photography.
What does all the blue in the sea have that the sky doesn’t?, curated by Claudia Taboada, becomes a “mirror-exhibition” in which the images of all emigrants are reflected. It contemplates the parallels between their physical and mental journey. In the middle of the ocean, everything becomes confusing, immeasurable, and incomprehensible. Deliriums overshadow reason, and misfortune becomes a beautiful and yearned path. The color blue, with its origin in the scattering of light in the atmosphere and its omnipresent prominence in the sea, becomes a powerful symbol of the journeys made across vast bodies of water in search of a new home. For Poblet, whose focus has been migration presented from the perspective of beauty, the blue of the sea represents both the challenges and hopes of the eternal pursuit of dreams and goals. This exhibition will feature works from the series My Autumn, Homeland, and Travel Diary, as well as the video installation “Sublimation” from the series Buoyancy.
