We recently had the pleasure of visiting Adrián Fernández Milanés Studio @adrianfernandezstudio in New York City. 

 Due to the pandemic lockdowns, we were unable to attend the ‘Pending Memories’ 2020 exhibition at the Wifredo Lam Art Centre in Havana. But we this time we lucked out, and Adrián gave us a last minute private tour of his current studio in the Big Apple. We are thankful for his graciousness. 

 As always, his work left us breathless and generated so many questions: Is it about the past or about a near/distantfuture? It is history or science fiction? And so many disparate ideas come to mind: Utopia/Dystopia/Heterotopia, melancholy, memory, archives, hope, disbelief, Blade Runner/Planet of Apes, etc. 

 His new book “Adrián Fernández. Memorias pendientes” published by @editorialturner will be released soon. Do yourself a favour, and get yourself a copy!
