Miguel Ángel Cárdenas

Part of Instituto de Visión’s Visionaries program, Calentamientos presents works of the Colombian artist Miguel Ángel Cárdenas who deal with the concept of human warmth as understood in terms of its most naïve and innocent of connotations (the idea of been able to transform a rationalist and cold culture, such as that of the Dutch, with a tropical temperament), as well as in terms of its most perverted of sexual connotations. Cárdenas, who confirmed his homosexuality when he arrived to Europe in 1962, always tried to escape moralist postures such as those that existed in Colombia at the time.
