Wild Noise: Artwork from The Bronx Museum of the Arts and El Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (MNBA) will represent the most extensive visual arts exchange between Cuba and the United States in more than 50 years, and includes major exhibitions at MNBA and the Bronx Museum; an artist exchange; a teen exchange program; a series of educational and public programs; and the creation of a dual-language publication that extends the impact of Wild Noise beyond the audiences that participate directly in the initiative. The exhibition coincides with the 12th Havana Biennial, running from May 21 – August 16, 2015. We are delighted to share the opening of Wild Noise with over sixty Museum supporters that are traveling to Havana to see the show. The project continues when the works from MNBA will be showcased at the Bronx Museum in 2016.
The Bronx Museum Teen Exchange with United States and Cuba
The Bronx Museum of the Arts and El Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes are collaborating on a teen art exchange as part of the Wild Noise exhibition. This program is inspired by the Venice Biennale 2013 teen exchange between the Bronx Museum Teen Council and a group of students working with the Guggenheim in Venice. This is a two year project whose purpose is to connect teens from the Bronx with teens in Havana using art, inquiry and dialogue. The finished products will be two collaborative zines and videos.
The Bronx Museum Artist Exchange with United States and Cuba
Each museum has chosen one artist to take part in an international artist exchange to be conducted over a four to six-week period leading up to opening of each exhibition. The artist exchange will begin in 2015 when U.S. artist Mary Mattingly and Cuban artist Humberto Díaz will travel to Havana and the Bronx, respectively, where they will create community-based public programs at each venue.
Saludos desde Cuba!

“The collaboration is another feather in the cap of the relatively tiny Bronx Museum, which in 2013 commissioned the art for the United States pavilion at the Venice Biennale, a complex installation by Sarah Sze.”
