CA and curated by Argentine Gabriela Urtiaga, art historian and researcher, Chief Curator at MOLAA.<\/strong><\/p><p>This exhibition explores Betsabe\u00e9 Romero\u2019s artistic practices through commissioned artworks and new installations and is the result of the long-term relationship between the artist and the MOLAA Museum. Her work is part of the MOLAA Permanent Collection and, at the end of the exhibition as a Collateral Event of the <strong>60th International Art Exhibition \u2013 La Biennale diVenezia<\/strong>, MOLAA will present this show in 2025, in Long Beach, California USA.<\/p><p>The curatorial axes and concepts are expanded in different galleries of the Fondazione La Massa, under the premise ofexploring the theme &#8220;Foreigners Everywhere&#8221; title of the <strong>60th International Art Exhibition \u2013 La Biennale di Venezia<\/strong>.<\/p><p>We will present the show in different sections scattered in each of the galleries, creating a diverse presentation of this crucial topic, opening ideas and concepts that are immersed in her body of work and making visible the dualities, tensions, conflictsand fractures in our culture and history.<\/p><p>The artist developed a strong starting narrative that puts the focus on the experience of being a foreigner in the world andfrom the perspective of many who lack territory to seek refuge and survive. She speaks of those who seek and run, constantly bumping against the always foreign and exclusionary political and economic borders; from the mirror that does not recognize us, that doubts, watches, ignores, and distorts. From mirrors that do not include identities and genders beyond obsoleteclassifications and discriminations. From the home where violence prevails, \u00a0wielded by those\u00a0who have taken the baton, like a dagger that arbitrarily marks the borders that define their power as petty patriarchs,exercising it at the expense of the lives of women and children who inhabit it at their greatest vulnerability. From the wisest and most consistent communities that have had to hide to defend their sacred sites and save the world from the barbarism towhich the logic of greed and excessive consumption has led us.<\/p><p>The exhibition is divided in six (6) sections. The experience will begin through the installation <strong>\u201cSigns to guide us into exile\u201d<\/strong>,where the visitor will question the concept and experiences of migration that happens before, during, and after our times. The visitor will comprehend how, in community, we can contribute to dismantle the horror and injustices. Through <strong>\u201cIdentities\u201d<\/strong>,security mirrors will cover the room that seek us out and distort us. These are mapped and rigged mirrors with harsh, borderinglines, broken mirrors in a universe of the broken. <strong>\u201cBarbed Borders\u201d <\/strong>explores the suffering caused by the Borders. They areimposed lines that oppose necessity, survival, and understanding. Scars that bleed the world are lines that pursue us throughoutlife, lines inscribed on the body and engraved on the feet and in the footprints we leave. They are cruel lines with sick and deadlyedges. <strong>\u201cRolling totem of rubber and gold\u201d <\/strong>introduces the viewer to the mobility and wheel-based urban totem, hand-engraved wheels that were once instruments of memory, cylindrical stamps that imprinted history on all cultures of humanity. Western wheels changed the course of the ride, prioritizing speed and forgetfulness to continue running over. These recycled tires reclaim the opposite direction to modernity; instead of serving on highways and for the vehicles of power, they moved backward, recycled slowly, manually propelled to remember and make visible what speed had left behind, so as not to see it anymore. A Rolling Totem of indigenous iconography from across the Americas, memories of embroideries and ceramics, steles, and stone objects from different regions and cultures. <strong>\u201cAt the vanishing point of shadows\u201d <\/strong>reflects on Culture as the home we carry within that survived the shadow of all powers. In the Home, borders are also reproduced, polarizations have divided even the bed in the familiar landscape. Finally, <strong>\u201cFeathers of a spiral sunrise\u201d, <\/strong>journeys through an endless spiral,wisdom sowing and germinating in cycles, a rotating compendium of collective and endearing flights. A snail with circular andlabyrinthine wings, a horizontal and infinite crest, architectural and ritual attire, a space where all can enter and inhabit.<\/p><p>This exhibition is organized with Main Partners: William S. &amp; Michelle Ciccarelli Lerach and Santiago Garc\u00eda Galv\u00e1n.<\/p><p>It will also be accompanied by a publication\/catalog and exhibition brochure. Support for the exhibition was provided by COMEX, PPG and HITN.<\/p><p>Sunday April 21<sup>st<\/sup> at 2pm, open conversation between Betsabe\u00e9 Romero and the curator Gabriela Urtiaga, followed by a guided tour at pm.<\/p><p><strong>Betsabe\u00e9 Romero <\/strong>is an artist who has had the opportunity to live and produce her work in different countries, cultures, andcontexts. In the curatorial statement, <strong>Gabriela Urtiaga <\/strong>writes: \u201c<em>Betsabe\u00e9 is a nomadic spirit always looking for new experiencesand perspectives with a focus on examining different essential and urgent topics for international audiences. She works with a strong consciousness of issues such as migration, gender roles, cultural traditions, religiosity, miscegenation, and individual and collective memory. Her method of transgressing the limits of different established categories and making visible the injustice around the world as a point of examination and a call for action is redefined as a community commitment through a dialogue between art, social justice, and heritage interacting for the common good. The artist developed a strong starting narrative that focuses on the experience of being a foreigner in the world and from the perspective of many who lack territoryto seek refuge and survive.<\/em>\u201d<\/p><p><strong>Info<\/strong><\/p><p>From Wednesday to Sunday between 10:30am and 5:30pm | Admission is free | Ph. +39 041
