  • Garcia, Luis Transcript
    Interview with Luis Garcia Kathy Hersh: Today is the 5th of May 2012. We’re at the Headquarters of the Miami Design Preservation League. My name is Kathy Hersh. I’m interviewing Luis Garcia, for the Miami Beach Visuals Memoirs Project. We’re going to start by talking about your earliest days on the Beach. You weren’t born here? Tell us when you were born, and when you came to the Beach. Luis Garcia: Well, actually, I was born in Cuba. The first time I came to the Miami Beach, I came as a tourist. That was in 1956. We came for the Orange Ball, and I was fascinated by the place. At that time, I was 11 years old and I remember going back to Cuba, and shortly afterwards, there was a movie called “A Hole in the Head” with Frank Sinatra. And, I was saying to my friends, ‘look! I was here!’ That was the Cardozo Hotel. Little did I know, four years later I would come back, and it would be my hometown for the rest of my life. Kathy: So, you were 15 then? Luis Garcia: I turned 15 two weeks after I got to the United States. Kathy: What were the circumstances that brought you here? Luis Garcia: Well, my father was a prominent lawyer in Cuba. He had been against the Batista government, and within eight days of Castro’s taking over, he was against Castro. Within a year and half, he has been arrested three times. Finally, the last time they released him, there was no government – you gotta leave, next time you aren’t coming out.

  • Luis Garcia Nerey Miami, FL
    Luis Garcia Nerey Miami, FL Artist Statement The premise of my work addresses how existence is questionable without participation. I’ve chosen the “Constructionism Philosophy” as the conceptual base in order to bring a theoretical approach to my work of the Self. The philosophy of the Self and the Other stems from the thought that all things need a counter or an Other to define them. In other words, concepts and things in general (i.e. material things, cultures to name a few) have an objective existence not precisely because they possess a natural essence, but because we as humans constructed them through our ingenuity and our creativity that emerges from our interaction through language. However, I believe this interaction does not solely come from human to human interaction but also can be achieved through different sources. In my work, for instance, the interaction between a painting and a person may be equally important in creating that sense of Self. Even though, I create the work, a conversation is taking place between the paintings and the viewer. In this dynamic, the viewer not only constructs the “essence” of the piece, but also observes him or herself constructing it. It is there, within this symbolic interaction, that the viewer is also being constructed by the work.
