WELCOME

Siguiendo su misión institucional, la promoción y la difusión de la lengua y la cultura en español, el Instituto Cervantes les ofrece, una vez más, un programa para este otoño cargado de propuestas que abordan la riqueza cultural y lingüística del español desde diferentes ángulos. El arte, la literatura, el pensamiento, las artes escénicas, la música, el cine, la gastronomía, entre otros, forman parte de esta extensa propuesta, que, junto con la detallada oferta académica y la riqueza que ofrece la biblioteca Jorge Luis Borges, hace del Instituto Cervantes un lugar obligado para penetrar en el mundo del español con todos sus matices.

Como muestra de la variada programación destacamos el viaje poético por el que nos transporta León Felipe: ¿quién soy yo?, la Feria Internacional del libro de la ciudad de Nueva York (FILCNY) cuya primera edición arranca en el Instituto Cervantes, el homenaje al erudito Ángel Alcalá, las sesiones de reflexión sobre el exilio, o la excelente representación de películas de la muestra “mujeres de cine”, entre tantas otras propuestas.

LEÓN FELIPE: WHO AM I?

Wednesday, September 11th to Thursday, October 10th

Instituto Cervantes. Free Admission. RSVP [email protected] Hours M-F: 10 am-7 pm. Sat: 10 am-2 pm

Opening: Wednesday, Sept 11th 7pm Sept.11th

The exhibition León Felipe. Who am I? is a journey through the poet’s life and poetic universe through almost a hundred objects, including photographs, paintings, drawings, books and manuscripts. Unclassifiable writer, pharmacist, librarian, actor and translator, Leon Felipe became, after the Civil War, ambassador and patriarch of the Spanish exile in Mexico, and thoughout his wanderings, he ended up in the city of New York where he went along with great figures like Fernando de Los Ríos, José Camprubí, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Ángel del Río, Federico Onís, García Maroto and Federico García Lorca. This selection of pieces and materials are directly related not only to the figure of León Felipe and its impact in the literary field, but also to the historical context in which he had to live in.

Commemorative event of the 50th Anniversary of the author’s death.

La muestra León Felipe ¿Quién soy yo? es un viaje por el universo vital y poético del autor a través de alrededor de un centenar de objetos, entre fotografías, pinturas, dibujos, libros y manuscritos. Poeta inclasificable, farmacéutico, bibliotecario, actor y traductor, León Felipe se convirtió, tras la Guerra Civil, en embajador y patriarca del exilio español en México. En su errancia, recaló después en Nueva York, donde coincidió con grandes figuras como Fernando de los Ríos, José Camprubí, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Ángel del Río, Federico Onís, García Maroto o Federico García Lorca. Las piezas y materiales seleccionados ayudan a reconstruir la figura de León Felipe y su impacto en el ámbito literario, pero también el contexto histórico que le tocó vivir.

Actividad en el marco de la conmemoración del 50 Aniversario del fallecimiento del autor.

This 14th Spanish Architecture and Urbanism Biennial aims to place the accent on the notion of living as what underpins architecture and makes cities more human. This is explained not only through the various functional briefs, but also through the quality and the attributes of the spaces. More Human, More Living shows the recognition of a specialized jury to the best works of architecture and urbanism carried out in Spain and abroad by Spanish architects during the years 2016 and 2017. The exhibition also shows the recognition of research works linked to industrial development of the sector and the dissemination of architecture and research. The exhibitors of this show, as characters speaking from their own voice, bring the visitor the most human image of each awarded work. The authors share their stories while the visitors observe how people inhabit it, and how the work is capable of humanizing the place that it inhabits.

La Bienal Española de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, en su xIV edición, busca repensar la idea de vivir, situándola en el centro de la arquitectura y la humanización de las ciudades. Esta es una idea que no solo se explica por su funcionalidad, sino por la calidad, las formas y las características de los espacios. Más habitar, más humanizar muestra el reconocimiento de un jurado especializado a las mejores obras de arquitectura y urbanismo realizadas, en nuestro país y en el extranjero, por arquitectos españoles durante los años 2016 y 2017. Asimismo, se muestra el reconocimiento a los mejores trabajos vinculados al desarrollo industrial del sector, a la divulgación de la arquitectura y a la investigación. Los expositores de esta muestra, a modo de personajes con voz propia, acercan al visitante la imagen más humana de cada obra premiada. Sus autores nos hablan de ella mientras podemos observar cómo las personas la habitan y cómo la obra es capaz de humanizar el lugar donde se instala.

As a nod to Havana’s 500th anniversary, leading art historian José Ramón Alonso Lorea takes us on an illustrated voyage to the 1940s, when Cuba’s modern art movement was consolidated. The work of these artists was widely promoted by arts patron María Luisa Gómez Mena, founder of Galería del Prado, pivotal in garnering international recognition for Cuban contemporary art. The leading artists among this group were Amelia Peláez, Fidelio Ponce, and Carlos Enríquez(the first generation), and René Portocarrero, Cundo Bermúdez, Mariano Rodríguez, Mario Carreño, Luis Martínez Pedro and Felipe Orlando (the second generation). The continued productivity of both generations fostered the consolidation of a modern Cuban art and defined the creation of a regional and luminous oeuvre, which has since been referred to by critics as the “Escuela de La Habana”.

Con motivo de la celebración del 500 aniversario de La Habana, el historiador José Ramón Alonso Lorea, nos guiará por un recorrido ilustrado a la década de 1940, periodo clave en la consolidación del arte contemporáneo en Cuba. Los principales artistas de este movimiento fueron Amelia Peláez, Fidelio Ponce y Carlos Enríquez (de la primera generación), y René Portocarrero, Cundo Bermúdez, Mariano Rodríguez, Mario Carreño, Luis Martínez Pedro y Felipe Orlando (de la segunda). El trabajo de estos artistas fue ampliamente promovido por la mecenas María Luisa Gómez Mena, fundadora de la Galería del Prado. La productividad continuada de ambas generaciones fomentó la consolidación del arte cubano moderno y definió la creación de una obra regional y luminosa, que desde entonces ha sido referida por los críticos como la “Escuela de La Habana”.

Talk in Spanish with simultaneous interpretation into EnglishOct.11th

Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the world as a mother tongue only after Chinese; it is also the second language of international communication after English. However, it is necessary to be acquainted with its demographic and socioeconomic projection in order to understand its future development and its global positioning with the other “great languages”. It is also essential to take into account its history in order to understand, foresee and know how to adapt to the future. The Internet and social networks have revolutionized communication during the 21st century, and this is something that goes beyond the borders of the realm of linguistics, it sits comfortably in the economic and the geopolitical spheres, in a framework where language policies have much to say about the future of languages. The Spanish language has to face new challenges in this changing and dynamic context, and it will be essential to adapt to the pace set by the new trends and to develop new positioning models in order to continue to hold the position it enjoys today. Special attention will be given to the Spanish language in the US context.

Instituto Cervantes, the largest worldwide institution concerned with the promotion and the dissemination of the Spanish language and culture, publishes its annual review of the Spanish language, Anuario del Instituto Cervantes. El español una lengua viva (2019), which includes not only the updated demographics of the Spanish language throughout the world in different fields of study and interest, but it does so with a critical insight. The publication also includes sections that showcase the evolution of the Spanish Language from different perspectives, as seen by specialist in the field which take into account not only the linguistic point of view, but also the sociological, political and geolinguistic.

Come and hear all the facts from the renowned poet and current General Director of the Instituto Cervantes Mr. Luis García Montero, along with many other experts in the field.

El español es hoy la segunda lengua del mundo en número de hablantes nativos, por detrás únicamente del chino, y también la segunda lengua de comunicación internacional, por detrás sólo del inglés. Sin embargo, es necesario conocer su proyección demográfica y socioeconómica para entender su desarrollo futuro y su posicionamiento global con las demás “grandes lenguas”. A su vez, es fundamental tener en cuenta su historia para entender, prever y saber cómo adaptarse al futuro. Internet y las redes sociales han revolucionado la comunicación durante el siglo xxI, y esto tiene una trascendencia que sobrepasa las fronteras de lo meramente lingüístico, se adentra en lo económico y en el ámbito geopolítico, en un marco donde las políticas lingüísticas tienen mucho que decir sobre el futuro de las lenguas. El idioma español ha de acometer nuevos retos en este contexto cambiante y dinámico, y será fundamental adaptarse al ritmo que marcan las nuevas tendencias y desarrollar nuevos modelos de posicionamiento para seguir ostentando la posición que disfruta hoy en día. Se prestará especial atención al context del Español en América

El Instituto Cervantes, la mayor institución del mundo dedicada a la promoción y difusión de la lengua y la cultura en español, publica su informe anual de la lengua española, el Anuario del Instituto Cervantes. El español una lengua viva (2019), que incluye no sólo los datos demográficos actualizados de la lengua española en todo el mundo en diferentes campos de estudio e interés, sino que lo hace con una visión crítica. La publicación también incluye secciones que muestran la evolución de la lengua española desde diferentes perspectivas, tal y como la ven los especialistas en la materia, que tienen en cuenta no sólo el punto de vista lingüístico, sino también el sociológico, político y el geolingüístico.

Ven a conocer todos los pormenores de la mano del afamado poeta y actual Director General del Instituto Cervantes, Luis García Montero, junto con muchos otros expertos en la materia.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and with that, the flight of almost half a million Spaniards from their homeland. Borrowing the title from one of the main mottos of Game of thrones, Winter is Coming will reflect and shed light on the rich cultural and human contributions of those, particularly women, who were forced to go into exile.

In 1987 the poets Carlos Edmundo de Ory and Allen Ginsberg met at a poetry performance organized by Gas Station cultural center and Columbia University. The Argentine painter Osvaldo Gomariz introduced to both poets, among whom an immediate affinity emerges. From this friendship has resulted the Ory’s book ANGEL without a permit, where Ginsberg collaborates in the translation into English. Later, Ory translates into Spanish some Ginsberg’s poems in the Revista Atlántica.Through the existing bibliography, the voices of the witnesses in the meetings and the catalogue preserved in the Carlos Edmundo de Ory Foundation, placed in Cádiz (Spain), we’ll tell the public this little known link between the Beat Generation and the spanish poetry.Participants: Salvador García, director of the Fundación Carlos Edmundo de Ory, and Eduardo Lago, writter.

tenderness is a romantic comedy full of references to the shakespearean drama: desert islands, monumental shipwrecks, fragile kings and dreamy queens, fearful lumberjacks and tempestuous shepherdesses, magical creatures… and one desire to bind them all: that of finding.

Una ingeniosa comedia romántica llena de referencias shakesperianas sobre la imposibilidad de protegernos contra el daño que produce el amor: si queremos amar de una manera plena, nos tenemos que arriesgar a sufrir.

BY JUAN MAYORGA In Reikiavik, the audience is invited to imagine a European city, which happens to be the place where Boris Spasski lost his chess glory to Bobby Fischer. And thus, we’re presented with the first symbolic level of this story – Mayorga’s invitation to think about the history of the Cold War through the metaphor of the game of chess.

Imaginemos un tablero de ajedrez en un parque cualquiera. Imaginemos que este tablero es, al mismo tiempo, otro situado muy lejos de allí, en Reikiavik. Y que los dos hombres que juegan en ese parque y en ese tablero, Waterloo y Bailén, en realidad juegan a ser otros: el indómito y genial Bobby Fischer contra Boris Spasski, tan elegante y sensible como discreto.

Historically, Central American countries produced fewer films than their Northern and Southern neighbors, a fact that has changed in the last fifteen years thanks to initiatives like Icaro Film Festival. Held annually, this event gives emerging filmmakers the opportunity to tell their own stories.

Los cinéfilos tendrán la oportunidad de ver las películas ganadoras del certamen más importante de Centroamérica.

En la Cuba de finales de los años cuarenta, Chico y Rita viven una apasionada historia de amor. Chico es un joven pianista enamorado del jazz, y Rita sueña con ser una gran cantante.

A desperate group of people wait at a rundown Cuban transit station for the next bus to arrive. The problem is, it never shows up. While a number of busses pass by the station, and others that are either full or at the end of the line stop by, it soon becomes obvious that the bus everyone was waiting for has left them high and dry. While one of the would-be passengers, Emilio, uses his downtime to win the affections of the beautiful Jacqueline, most of the rest decide that if they’re stuck without anywhere to go, they might as well make the station a better place to wait, and they begin forming a plan to turn the decrepit bus terminal into a showplace that people would look forward to visiting.

Los pasajeros colapsan una terminal de autobuses de un pueblo cubano porque todos los vehículos pasan llenos y no recogen viajeros. Para poder emprender el viaje, todos se implican en la reparación del único transporte destartalado que queda en la terminal. Una experiencia en la que cada uno va a descubrir lo mejor de sí mismo.

Rafael Azcona by Juan Manuel Prats

T R I B U T E S

Rafael Azcona would have liked to be the invisible man, however, his name is engraved in the history of Spanish cinema. As described by those who knew him, Azcona was a magnificent writer, with a sharp social irony. He began writing stories in the satirical magazine La Codorniz, where he already demonstrated his enormous talent to criticize, always in a humorous way, the current state of values. The documentary Imprescindibles, directed by journalist Fernando Olmeda, pays tribute to this brilliant screenwriter and shows his most human version through testimonies from people who knew and worked with him.

A Rafael Azcona le hubiese gustado ser el hombre invisible, no obstante, su nombre está irremediablemente grabado en la historia del cine español. Tal y como lo describen quienes lo conocieron, Azcona fue un magnifico escritor, de afilada ironía social. Empezó escribiendo relatos en la revista satírica La Codorniz, donde ya demostró su enorme talento para criticar, siempre en clave de humor, la escala de valores vigente. El documental Imprescindibles, dirigido por el periodista Fernando Olmeda, rinde homenaje al genial guionista y muestra su versión más humana a través de testimonios de las personas que le conocieron y/o trabajaron con él.

Still image from Belle Epoque, by Fernando Trueba

Shortly before the Spanish Civil War broke out (1936-1939), Fernando, a deserter, finds himself on a lonely farm, where he was welcomed by Manolo, an eccentric painter who lives retired due to his political ideas. The boy successively maintains relations with the four daughters of his protector, without knowing very well which of them he is in love with.

Poco antes de estallar la Guerra Civil española (1936-1939), Fernando decide desertar y se refugia en una casa de campo, donde es bien acogido por Manolo, un pintor que vive retirado debido a sus ideas políticas. El chico mantiene sucesivamente relaciones con las cuatro hijas de su protector, sin saber muy bien de cuál de ellas está enamorado.

Still image from La lengua de las mariposas, by Jose Luis Cuerda

For Moncho, it’s an idyllic year: he starts school, he has a wonderful teacher, he makes a friend in Roque, he begins to figure out some of the mysteries of Eros, and, with his older brother, a budding saxophone player, he makes a trip with the band from their town in Galicia. But it’s also the year that the Spanish Republic comes under fire from Fascist rebels. Moncho’s father is a Republican as is the aging teacher, Don Gregorio. As sides are drawn and power falls clearly to one side, the forces of fear, violence, and betrayal alter profoundly what should be the pleasure of coming of age.

Situada en 1936, Don Gregorio enseñará a Moncho con dedicación y paciencia toda su sabiduría en cuanto a los conocimientos, la literatura, la naturaleza, y hasta las mujeres. Pero el trasfondo de la amenaza política subsistirá siempre, especialmente cuando Don Gregorio es atacado por ser considerado un enemigo del régimen fascista. Así se irá abriendo entre estos dos amigos una brecha, traída por la fuerza del contexto que los rodea.

Three decades after its foundation, Cuban cinema from Escuela San Antonio de los Baños has made a name for itself, becoming a reference point for the training of Latin American filmmakers. Throughout its history, diverse styles of cinema inspired by the particularities of the island have been developed. Among the topics examined stand: the union of the body to the earth, Santeria, music or isolation. Easily identifiable, it is a tangible cinema that travels between realism and abstraction.

Pieces of new York is an intimate film, the third piece of a trilogy that aims to study the creative process. It is a love letter to New York, a place where many artists converge with the same purpose, to obtain from their art a personal realization. At the same time, pieces of New York is a reflection on how the city has changed using images filmed in super 8mm in the 70s by the director’s grandfather, who could not dedicate himself to his passion, filmmaking, and where the director compares her own Work with his, reflecting on her concerns and trying to guess her grandfather´s.

Documental creativo de ensayo, una pieza intimista donde se presenta a diferentes artistas que exponen sus miedos e inquietudes, su proceso creativo y la capacidad del creador para renunciar a todo por su arte.

First feature film by a director who, in a highly autobiographical tone, narrates the vicissitudes and confusion of a woman from Madrid in the most degraded area of New York. Her charm lies in the fresh nature with which she develops various anecdotes that make up a somewhat scattered story.

Primer largometraje de una realizadora que, en un tono marcadamente autobiográfico, narra las peripecias y el desconcierto de una madrileña en la zona más degradada de Nueva York.

SEPTEMBER 12TH: THE CREAM OF RIOJARioja is Spain’s most important wine region. Its long history coupled with the revolution of the last three decades, makes it more exciting and diverse than ever. This first tasting of the season will focus on the brilliant wineries and winemakers responsible for some of the most remarkable wines of Rioja in both modern and traditional styles.

SEPTEMBER 19TH: MASTERS OF THE DUEROIn just three decades Ribera del Duero achieved world-class status with its tannic age-worthy Tempranillo-based reds that challenged the best riojas at the top of Spain’s wine hierarchy. Just over twenty years ago, neighboring Toro resurfaced with its powerful and flavorful wines. Along with them, a cohort of smaller areas and quality committed wineries are raising the ante of the whole region. This tasting is devoted to the skillful winemakers responsible for this startling success.

SEPTEMBER 26TH: 2009: TEN YEARS LATERAfter three underperforming vintages, 2009 emerged as an excellent year in Spain’s major wine areas, from Rioja to Ribera del Duero through Priorat and Toro. It was also a great vintage in the major areas of France, Italy and California. After ten years of aging, it’s time to taste the evolution of this heralded vintage.

OCTOBER 10TH: A TALE OF TWO GREAT VINTAGES I: 2014Last season, a Ribera del Duero tasting focusing on 2014 showed that this vintage, along with 2015, is shaping up as one of the top two years of this decade, and one that can be compared to any great vintage of the past. The wines are powerful, tannic, yet balanced and built for aging. In this seminar we will taste twelve wines from this remarkable vintage from all over Spain as well as some great regions from around the world.

OCTOBER 17TH: A TALE OF TWO GREAT VINTAGES II: 2015In Spain, 2015 shined in most wine regions from north to south and its outstanding quality put it in the same league as 2010, 2009, 2005, 2004 and 2001. Moreover, it’s also an excellent vintage is some leading regions like Bordeaux, Burgundy, Northern Rhône, Tuscany and California. In this tasting we will look closely at 2015, a vintage poised for greatness.

OCTOBER 23RD: RIBERA DEL DUERO VS. NAPA VALLEY It’s easy to understand why some American wine writers have sometimes drawn comparisons between Ribera del Duero and Napa Valley. Ribera del Duero wines are made with Tempranillo, while Cabernet is the most important grape used in Napa’s acclaimed reds. But despite using different varieties, both of these new flashing stars of the wine firmament make wines that share some similarities: they are packed with fruit, tannic and concentrated, yet accessible and appealing. In this tasting we will compare these powerful age-worthy wines, adding a couple from Toro and Sonoma.

OCTOBER 31ST: 25 YEARS OF MAURO VENDIMIA SELECCIONADA Superstar winemaker Mariano García created Mauro as a side project while still working at Vega Sicilia. Their first wine, called just Mauro, was soon followed by a special selection later known as Vendimia Seleccionada, or VS. 2019 marks the 25th anniversary of this wine whose history we will celebrate in this unique tasting.

NOVEMBER 7TH: AROUND THE WORLD WITH GARNACHAGarnacha is known all over the world by its French name Grenache, but it is native to Aragón in Spain, whence it spread to Rioja, the rest of the country, the south of France, the Mediterranean, Australia and the Americas. Led by the powerful wines of Priorat, the past two decades have seen a strong revival of this grape that has resulted in unexpected and fascinating wines in Montsant, Aragón, Rioja, and now in the areas around Madrid and the south. In this seminar we will compare the styles of the best Garnacha-based wines from all over the world.

NOVEMBER 14TH: NORTH BY NORTHWESTIn the 1980s and 1990s, Albariño led the way in awakening the interest in the white wines of Spain. This century, the rediscovery of the old Mencía vines and the emergence of Godello, have put on the wine map the remote and mountainous Bierzo area and the Galician regions of Ribeira Sacra and Valdeorras. Leading star winemakers such as Alvaro Palacios, Mariano García and Raúl Pérez are responsible for this success, producing unique mineral reds and whites that have even elicited comparisons with Guigal’s famous Cote Roties. They have added diversity to Spain’s wine landscape and captivated demanding American critics. This seminar is devoted to the distinctive wines of the northwestern corner of Spain, some of which have achieved cult status in record time and are available only in minuscule quantities.

NOVEMBER 21ST: POWER VS FINESSERobert Parker’s scores have driven the market of high-quality wines for over three decades. Winemakers simplistically perceived that he favored big powerful wines and they obliged. But in the wine world fashions come and go. And now that he’s retired some critics are calling for a gentler, less concentrated and lower alcohol style. Although it’s common knowledge that varieties, soils and climates imprint certain traits in a wine, it’s also hard to deny that human decisions do too. In this fascinating tasting we will discuss the role of variety, soil, climate and the human factor to make wines with specific personalities and styles.

DECEMBER 5TH: 2004: A LANDMARK YEAR AT FIFTEEN Since the moment the bunches were harvested, 2004 was perceived as an excellent vintage in Rioja and a strong candidate for the best ever in the Duero regions, surpassing the likes of 1996 and 1994. Elsewhere in Spain the quality of 2004 was equally superb, from Galicia to Priorat to Jumilla. Now that this vintage has seen fifteen years of aging, it’s a great time to assess its evolution and to enjoy the superb quality of this outstanding vintage.

DECEMBER 12TH: THE SWEET LIFE0Dry white, rosé and red table wines dominate wine lists and shelf space. However, wines ranging from just off-dry to lusciously sweet, come in many more personalities and styles. In this final tasting of the year we will discuss the different ways to make sweet wines, from fortified to late harvest, and taste outstanding examples from Spain, as well as from Port, Madeira and Tokaj.
