Hatuey Ramos Fermin

I am a multimedia artist who works with photography, video, installation, performance, graphics and text to creatively investigate migration and globalization. I am interested in articulating conceptual ideas regarding our society into a thought provoking, inspiring, critical, creative language. The concept and the presentation/realization are inherently tied to one another to create provocative work. I describe my practice as a combination between the documentary and the fine arts.

My work is layered with theatrical-like imagery and challenges social and artistic conventions with drama, humor, and irony. One of my main goals as an artist is to achieve a social and political commentary in my work. I strongly believe that art can help or be a catalyst for discussions that may lead to better understanding (and the possibility of change) in human relations. www.hatmax.net

  • A Statement on Video Bibliography

    Ernest Gusella reports making three trips to Europe in the past year to show and lecture on his videotapes at museums, galleries, and art schools; he characterizes his art with an idiosyncratic quartering of influences and describes himself as an eclectic, neo-romantic artist. He argues that video is a new medium with its own aesthetic that obliges artists to transcend clichés; he defends reliance on machines in art and cites Marshall McLuhan. The statement is dated March 1, 1979.
