When we reflect on the importance of the cultural and artistic heritage of a place, we do not always imagine what is behind it. What's more, we can pass by a beautiful sculpture and we limit ourselves to knowing how to look at it and at most see the name of the artist, without even thinking about the number of people involved for a work to be placed on public roads. Undoubtedly, this has been possible due to the joint effort between the government, private initiative, universities and citizens.
An open-air gallery
An event of great importance for the city was the realization of the Second International Forum of Sculptors 2018, from November 12 to 24, organized by the Centro Universitario de la Costa of the University of Guadalajara, with the support of important sponsors. Outstanding artists of international stature once again left large-format works that will dress our city.
Sculptors from around the world embellish the city
Under the curatorship of the sculptors María Elena Perales, from Puerto Rico and Kemal Tufan, from Turkey, internationally renowned artists such as Cynthia Sah, from Taiwan, such as her work 'Return', participated in the creation of the works; Piotr Twardowski, from Poland, with 'Just Listen'; the Mexicans Yvonne Domenge, with her work 'Dimension 5', Antonio Nava with 'Mariposa Blanca' and Oscar Zamarripa with 'Dualidad'; Melquiades Sastre, from Puerto Rico, with 'Sinuosidades'; the Frenchman Nicolas Bertoux, with his work 'La Vela del Galeón' and Ümit Turgay from Turkey, with 'Phoenix'.
The sculptors left a piece of their heart and talent, by providing the public space of the city with works that give identity and a sense of belonging to the people of Vallarta in an open-air gallery. The works were large format in stainless steel and concrete, the vast majority of them were worked right in the place of their installation, giving people who passed by the opportunity to observe the process.
remarkable
We appreciate the joint work of the city authorities under the representation of the mayor of the city Arturo Dávalos, the businessman Fernando González Corona, official sponsor, Suny Ramírez executive coordinator and the rector of CUCosta Marco Antonio Cortés Guardado in organizing the event.
Now when I pass fRegarding the sculptures, I think how important it is to provide the public space with art and culture, since in addition to giving Vallarta a sense of identity and belonging, andhe cultural exchange is a capital that reaps great benefits in the field of tourism promotion in Puerto Vallarta.
