San Juan, PR – March 28, 2024 – REM Project is pleased to support CONSOLATO REM BREGA in its fundraising exhibition. Consolato REM Brega!!! proudly presents its historic exhibition: From San Juan Bautista…, as a collateral event of the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. Since its inception in 1895, this marks the first time that Puerto Rico has participated in the Biennale as part of a Collateral Event at the globally renowned art festival in Venice, Italy.
It is noteworthy that Puerto Rico’s inclusion in this edition of the Biennale is an unprecedented achievement, accomplished by a non-governmental entity.
From San Juan Bautista… is part of the Official Selection within the Collateral Events chosen by Adriano Pedrosa, director of the 60th edition of La Biennale. This exhibition will feature works by prominent Puerto Rican artists Celso González, Awilda Sterling-Duprey, Daniel Lind-Ramos, and Chemi Rosado-Seijo.
Currently, Consolato and its collaborators are conducting fundraising efforts to cover all the expenses associated with this incredible participation. “From San Juan Bautista… is not just an exhibition; it is a new testament to the enduring spirit of Puerto Rican visual art,” stated Escobar Molina.
As part of the preparations for the trip to Venice, Consolato has coordinated the following events for Thursday, April 4:
