Young Puerto Rican artist, Radames "Juni" Figueroa will be presenting some of his works in "Circus of Stillness... the power over wild beasts". It is part of The Watermill's Center Annual Summer Benefit & Auction in New York. The event will be from 6:00pm-11:59pm.
With his characteristic approach of embracing people to feel the life in the tropics, Juni presents the audience a cool, unique and fun experience along his favorite friends; pineapples and melons. One of his noted pieces will include a fabric-type artwork from his series "Bed paintings" that was developed a few years ago in which characters appeared immersed in fruits. In this particular piece we can see Juni with a knife in his mouth, swimming between melons with contagious happiness and freedom.
The Watermill Center is an arts organization developed by Robert Wilson with a mission to support the works of artists around the world and expose them to international institutions. Their 20,000 square foot facility provides a space for artist to live and work to improve their talents and create unique performance pieces by merging them with humanities, sciences and visual arts.
