Museo de Arte Moderno Santo Domingo
Museo de Arte Moderno Santo Domingo
Of the museums in the Plaza de la Cultura, the first stop should be the Museo de Arte Moderno (Tues–Sun 10am–6pm; RD$20; 685 2154), four storeys dedicated to modernist and post-modern Dominican art, with a magnificent permanent collection on the second and third floors, temporary exhibits on the first and fourth and installation art in the basement. At times the assemblage can seem a bit random, exacerbated by the frequent rotation of pieces within the museum space, but certain themes, like a reliance on Taino influences, can be spotted. Notable in this regard is Clara Ledesma’s Casetas, in the first floor’s first room, in which Taino-rendered campesinos peek out of a colmado and several mud huts at two gringo tourists lying on the beach.The next room holds the arresting El sacrificio del chivo, Elegio Pichardo’s dark depiction of a family meal that interprets the everyday ritual of dinner as a pagan rite – note the shrunken head in the hand of the child as he waits for the mother to carve the goat. The third room is dominated by another piece incorporating native art, Junior Mendoza’s Ritual de Iniciación, a mixed-media burlap canvas with a malevolent Taino head – half-painted, half-stitched together with bone and shell fragments – surrounded by nails with a circle of straw dolls tied to them by rope. Equally disturbing is the borrowed Roman Catholic iconography of Rincón Mora’s Rito in the fourth room, his blood-smeared Christ peering through a glass window with smouldering red eyes.The most highly regarded proponent of a more pastoral strain in modern Dominican art is Candido Bidó, whose stylized idealizations of campesino life have won international acclaim. Bidó’s father was a Carnival mask maker in Bonao – the influence is apparent in the faces with hollowed-out eyes, straight noses and exaggerated lips. The museum owns six Bidós, all of them in the second floor’s fifth room, including his most famous, El Paseo a las 10am, a painting of a Dominican woman in a sunhat with a handful of flowers. The pigeon fluttering by her side is a typical Bidó gesture, as is the use of colour.

In The Blink of an Eyes /En un Abrir y Cerrar los Ojos -multi-media installation / site specific multi-media installation - 26 National Biennial of Visual Arts 2011 Santo Domingo - Museo de Arte Moderno
In A Blink of An Eye is part of my sub-series Chaos and Conclusion in which I refer to the complex economic issues, immigration, cultural and spiritual facing the contemporary human condition globally. In this context the artistic proposals addresses the relationship and communications between the individual and the community, establishing themselves as creative responses, intelligent, spontaneous and precise at the direct and indirect economic pressures, political and social world of today
In attempting to respond to global changes and not be overwhelmed by them, daring to ask what is my position on this? - Is when the dialogue and relationships that we can establish through art to have the maximum scope and effects in the transformation of concrete reality and the spaces of uncertainty. One of the overriding concerns is to explore the notion of affect. Often used interchangeably with the experience of feeling or emotion, which is essentially the ability to affect others and instead be affected by them.
The series Chaos and Conclusion explores the many ways in which the actions, rituals and mythologies of daily life can affect the current circumstances or draw new existential perspectives, feelings, emotions and individual ideas. Affect not in the romantic sense as catharsis, often promised by modern art, but as the potential for built-interpersonal experience may suggest the next possible step in a much broader and expansive.
In A Blink of An Eye
In A Blink of An Eye has to do with the overall volatile situation which we are living right now. The work incorporates images from nature, technology and imagination. I want to create an abstract visual environment, but also to suggest different things in the world today. Like a huge three-dimensional drawing, it presents episodic and mutant images echo the quality of movement of the viewer and look through space. I want to create an environment that soaks the audience in micro and macro levels.
In the blink Eyes incorporates the themes of metamorphosis and technology out of control. For me, the meaning of infinity reflects the nonlinear nature. I do emphasize, in the abstract language, reflecting the life which is a collection of events expected and unexpected that occur continuously. In this work are fundamental inner workings of the mind: the urge to play, to invent and to change.
Addressing the notions of displacement through the transfiguration of everyday phenomena, In the blink Eyes try to bring to light stories of process, excess consumption and redemption. Concentrate my search for materials on the history and emotion behind utensils cheap disposable that are linked to gender, racial, ethnic and sexual minorities.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Santo Domingo (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈsanto ðoˈmiŋɡo] meaning Saint Dominic), officially Santo Domingo de Guzmán, is the capital and largest city in the Dominican Republic and the largest metropolitan area in the Caribbean by population. In 2010, its population was counted as 965,040, rising to 2,908,607 when its surrounding metropolitan area was included. The city is coterminous with the boundaries of the Distrito Nacional (D.N., National District), itself bordered on three sides by Santo Domingo Province.
Founded by Bartholomew Columbus in 1496, on the east bank of the Ozama River and then moved by Nicolás de Ovando in 1502 to the west bank of the river, the city is the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the Americas, and was the first seat of the Spanish colonial rule in the New World. Santo Domingo is the site of the first university, cathedral, castle, monastery, and fortress in the New World. The city's Colonial Zone was declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Santo Domingo was called Ciudad Trujillo (Spanish pronunciation: [sjuˈðað tɾuˈxiʝo]), from 1936 to 1961, after the Dominican Republic's dictator, Rafael Trujillo, named the capital after himself. Following his assassination, the city resumed its original designation.
Santo Domingo is the cultural, financial, political, commercial and industrial center of the Dominican Republic, with the country's most important industries being located within the city. Santo Domingo also serves as the chief seaport of the country. The city's harbor at the mouth of the Ozama River accommodates the largest vessels, and the port handles both heavy passenger and freight traffic. Temperatures are high year round, with cooler breezes in the winter time.
Valencia
Valencia , or València , is the capital of the autonomous community of Valencia and the third largest city in Spain after Madrid and Barcelona, with around 800,000 inhabitants in the administrative centre. Valencia is also Spain's third largest metropolitan area, with a population ranging from 1.7 to 2.5 million. The city has global city status. The Port of Valencia is the 5th busiest container port in Europe and the largest on the Mediterranean Sea, with a trade volume of 4.21 million TEU's.
