Lázaro Saavedra es uno de los artistas más relevantes dentro del arte contemporáneo cubano. Su quehacer, marcado por el humor y la aguda reflexión socrática, invade las expresiones más disÃmiles: pintura, dibujo, video, instalaciones, artefactos, caricatura, libros-objetos, arte-net. En el caso especÃfico de la arqueologÃa de la red cubana, GalerÃa I-MEIL de Lázaro Saavedra ocupa un lugar fundacional. Concebida en 2006, cuando el acceso a Internet en la Isla era todavÃa un privilegio restringido y vigilado, la serie transformó el correo electrónico en un espacio expositivo alternativo de carácter crÃtico. A través de envÃos periódicos, Saavedra convirtió la lista de contactos en una galerÃa ambulante que circulaba entre intelectuales, funcionarios y curiosos, desafiando con humor la solemnidad y cinismo del discurso oficial. Lo que en otras latitudes se leÃa como Mail Art o Net Art, en Cuba adquirÃa una dimensión insoslayablemente polÃtica: la creación de una esfera pública subterránea.
Desde sus irreverentes hombrecitos aparecidos a mediados de los años ochenta pasando por icónicas obras que marcan el devenir cultural, polÃtico y social de la Isla como Sin tÃtulo (El arte un arma de lucha) (1988), Detector de ideologÃas (1989), Altar a Joseph Beuys (1989) o El sagrado corazón (1992), Saavedra ha sido siempre una crónica de la vida cubana. De incisiva raigambre conceptual y marcado por la aguda sátira y el choteo, el quehacer de Lázaro Saavedra disecciona como ningún otro el dÃa a dÃa y la doble moral que marcan el existir cubano. GalerÃa I-MEIL prolonga esa vocación juglaresca en clave digital, dejando tras de sà un archivo que hoy se lee como testimonio y a la vez como advertencia. En tiempos donde la precariedad tecnológica y la creatividad popular siguen cruzándose en la Isla, revisitar este proyecto es también preguntarnos por la capacidad del arte para burlar los lÃmites de la censura y reinventar las formas de comunicación.
