Living and working in Havana, Cuba, Francis Acea and Diango Hernandez formed Ordo Amoris Cabinet in 1994. Acea was born in Havana, Cuba in 1967 and Hernandez was born in Sancti-Spiritus, Cuba in 1970. Attending the Havana Superior Institute of Design, Acea and Hernandez received their degrees in graphic and industrial design respectively, and formed an artistic collaboration under the appellation of Ordo Amoris Cabinet, the Latin terms for “order” and “love.”
Ordo Amoris Cabinet has exhibited widely in Cuba, Europe, Costa Rica, and Canada, and made their United States debut exhibition at ArtPace. Solo shows include various installations at the Center for the Development of the Visual Arts and the Center of Art and Design in Havana, Cuba; Museo de Arte Contemporaneo y Diseño, San Jose, Costa Rica; Banff Center for the Arts, Alberta, Canada; Kunsthaus Berlin, Germany; Seventh Havana Biennale, Living la Vida, Sinpalabras Studio, Havana, Cuba; and, the AFW Gallerie, Köln, Germany. Group shows include Champ Libre, Montreal, Canada; Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge, Cornerhouse, Manchester, Royal College of Art, London, and Camden Art Center, London, England.
Their sculptural installations evoke a reconsideration of necessity through references to sociology, ethnography, and museology, and pose a thought-provoking statement on the realities of politics and material culture in Cuba.
Since 1994, Ordo Amoris Cabinet has been analyzing and infusing philosophical meaning into unremarkable, ordinary objects. Their sculptural installations are loaded with social and political criticisms and observations, primarily about the economic crisis and political establishment in their native Cuba. Highlighting a fascination with the environment, objects, instruments, and machines, Ordo Amoris’s version of contemporary archeology was made public in 1996 at the Havana Center for the Development of the Visual Arts in their second solo exhibition, Agua con Azucar y La Muestra Provisional (Sugar Water and The Provisional Show). Their display of recycled objects, such as Object (Stove)- a stove constructed from a medicine tin, copper wire, a metal can, and fabric-provoked a reflection on the qualities of material culture in Cuba in the 1990s and the extremes necessary for survival in an environment lacking resources.

For art collectors, galleries, and buyers, a Certificate of Authenticity (COD) is more than a piece of paper; it instills confidence in the investment. It offers a level of assurance regarding the artwork’s originality and can enhance its market value. As the art market continues to evolve, the importance of proper documentation, including COAs, becomes increasingly significant in establishing the credibility and provenance of artworks.
The Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity was designed to protect the security and genuineness of your limited edition artworks and reproductions and to reduce the risk of forgery. Each certificate is made of premium deckle-edged mold-made paper with a Hahnemühle watermark and fluorescent security fibers.
A serialized numbered hologram should be added. A second, identically numbered hologram should then be applied to the reverse side of the artwork. The combination of certificate and hologram assures that each Certificate of Authenticity relates to one particular piece of art.
Each COA emitted by One Sun Media is manually signed by the artist, and stamped with the artist’s seal, as well as with One Suns Media’s (Publisher) seal.
