Levi Orta

Levi Orta is interested in subjective spaces resulting from the application of “power” in different socio-political contexts. His work simulates the giving up of hegemonic control while conforming his own ideology through an analysis enacted by his own interpretation. Levi graduated from the Instituto Superior de Arte of Havana in 2010, and from Cathedra Arte de Conducta in 2009. Levi’s solo exhibitions include the Galerija Miroslav Kraljvić, Servando Art Gallery, Fonderie Darling, Ludwig Foundation and Salle Zero. He has participated in multiple biennials including the Havana Biennial, Pontevedra, Liverpool, and Mercosul. In recent years, Orta has participated in exhibitions in several countries like Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, Colombia, EEUU, Spain, France, Italy, Mexico, Switzerland, UK and Venezuela. He has also received various awards including Estudio 21 in Havana, DES PACIO from Costa Rica, the SOMA grant to study in Mexico, Fonderie Darling residency in Montreal and T.R.I.B.E residency at the MoTA museum in Ljubljana.
