El Paso’s monthly art night out, Last Thursday’s, launched the entrance of Cub3 into the El Paso art scene.  Directed and Curated by Angel Cabrales, Cub3 aims to bring forth the idea that art is more than a commodity by providing an art experience. Cub3 will be an installation gallery focusing on giving artists a chance to create artworks that incorporate and encompass the viewer. The gallery‘s mission is to provide a place where artist and viewer can expand their vision and definitions of art, together.

Cub3’s inaugural exhibition opened on February 27th 2014 with Angel Cabrales’ “Borderlands” exhibit which will be on display from February 27-March 20.  The Borderlands exhibit will display two of Cabrales’ installation pieces that reference his upbringing as well as the fears and misconceptions represented in our national media concerning Border issues.

 

The Juegos Fronteras installation, which was previously shown at the El Paso/Juarez Biennial, shows  metaphorical restrictions placed upon our future and youth by the placement of borders in an area dependent on the free flow of cultures. Through imposed restrictions under the guise of safety safety and security, the Playground is rendered useless for those outside and cripples the ability of those inside to truly experience the social interaction and camaraderie the grounds encourage.

El Pan Dulce Vidais an interactive installation blending dark satire and puns with the current views of border violence throughout the country. The installation brings forward issues of border violence and the enticement of the sweet life even at the cost of one’s life.

We hear the opening was a blast and look forward to seeing what is next for Cub3 and the El Paso Art Community.
