Museum of Modern Art Inaugurates \u201cEl Bocadillo\u201d by Marcelo Ferder <\/STRONG>
\n

“E<\/SPAN>l bocadillo,\u201d or the Sandwich, by Marcelo Ferder, is comprised of eleven singular, geometric pieces made with a mixture of material, primary colors, forms and subtle textures. The show opens on April 1 in the Projects Hall of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). <\/P>
\n

Marcelo Ferder is a multifaceted painter, architect, photographer and illustrator born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1958 and a resident in the Dominican Republic since 1993. <\/P>
\n

Rosario Fern\u00e1ndez Bella, independent curator, said \u201cFerder is at the most mature point of his career. There is an expressive synthesis and resourcefulness in his artwork, the maximum with the minimum in the style of Mies Van de Rohe.\u201d <\/P>
\n

\u201cHe is returning to pop but not the mechanical pop but rather to Creole pop, of the South, filtered, critical, experimental. His previous exhibition, \u201cBack to the Roots,\u201d lies in the antithesis: Construction, Baroque, Artisanal. Here it is stripped, geometric, minimal, biting, easy to digest. \u201cThe Bocadillo is a tribute to that aspect of the art world rarely dealt with but essential: the engine without which no school of contemporary painting could succeed.\u201d <\/P>
\n

Marcelo Ferder is a multifaceted painter, architect, photographer and illustrator born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1958 and a resident in the Dominican Republic since 1993. <\/P>
\n

Before moving to the DR, he made a trip by land around the entire American continent drawing, painting and taking photos, producing thousands of pieces. The trip, between 1988 and 1990, was sponsored by the Argentine government. <\/P>
\n

Between 1990 and 1993 he lived in New York where in 1993 he received recognition for his work on Latin culture from the Venezuelan Consulate General in NYC. <\/P>
\n

Once in Santo Domingo he began to direct the product design department of the Altos de Chav\u00f3n Art School, in the Casa de Campo. He did that until 1995 when he founded Mamey Design, a center devoted to design, research and production of products made from recycled paper inspired in pre-Colombian and African-American art. <\/P>
\n

Between 1998 and 2000, he made the \u201cServicio a domicilio\u201d (Home Delivery Service) urban art intervention in the rural communities of Limon and Los Arroyos in San Jos\u00e9 de Ocoa where he painted, between the two villages, 130 homes. Between 2006 and 2007, he coordinated the public art program in the town of Villa Padrenuestro, the province of Altagracia, painting and artistically transforming the facades of 50 homes. <\/P>
\n

His projects continue with this year\u2019s presentation which focuses on the dilemma of vernacular art, useful art: painting that becomes basic. <\/P>
