PABELLÓN CUBA 4D - 4Dimensions, 4Decades
A Reader on the Change in the Utopian in Architecture, Art, and Film in Cuba
Eds. Lisa Schmidt-Colinet, Alexander Schmoeger,
Eugenio Valdés Figueroa, Florian Zeyfang
Pabellón Cuba, a unique edifice in Havana's
modernist district Vedado and a product of the
advent of the revolutionary period after 1959,
was the exhibition site for the project 4D -
4Dimensions, 4Decades, organized by RAIN for the
8th Havana Biennial. In this publication, the
landmark building takes on the role of a stage
for the ideas on, discussions about, and
projections towards the decades following the
Revolution in Cuba. The subject of the
contributions by numerous Cuban and international
authors and artists is a possible 'departure to a
new society:' the dynamism and contradictions in
the years after the revolution, and the role that
art, architecture and film played in it - seen in
the light of today's critical knowledge... Find
