Borderlust 

by Mauricio Paz Viola & Justin Earl Grant

 

“Scientists say that human beings are made of atoms, but a little bird told me that we are also made of stories.”
Eduardo Galeano

 

Mauricio Paz Viola & Justin Earl Grant celebrate their second exhibition together. After their shared experiences in Santiago de Chile 2015, they are reunited once again in the city of Houston.

Borderlust is a reflection on the dynamic experience of how we construct our identity as an emancipatory and paradoxical process.

Paz Viola & Grant’s collection of works present a series of silhouettes of the human figure whose limits are traced and shows the interconnection of the subject with the whole.

Bonderlust aspires to reaffirm the magnitude of possibilities of the expansion of the human being.

About this Event

FERNANDO PIREZ

Born in the city of Montevideo, Oriental Republic of Uruguay, he emerges in the talent round of the renowned FUN FUN Bar in the old city where the contemporary tango referents frequented, has a powerful and sentimental voice that cradles tango as few is the winner of several competitions of singers in the Rio de la Plata.

He integrates the cast of voices of La Misa Tanguera and is La Voz del Tango in the Show PASION LATINA for the World Show.

He performed at the Lincoln Center in New York, the Opera Theater in Paris and the Czech Museum in Houston among other settings. I premiere the Tanguera Mass at the Cathedral of San Fernando de Maldonado, and at the Florencio Sanchez de Paysandu Theater (Uru) and I sing twice at the St. Patrick’s Cathedral in NY and at the Newark Nj cathedral this last year. He also performed at the Insitute of Hispanic Culture this past June with the “Tributo a Gardel Show”.
