AlbumArte presents
(No longer) Anonymous women. A confrontation on femicide
Curated by Daniela Trincia
GET TOGETHER FOR ONE YEAR
Teresa Margolles
With the participation of Angel Moya Garcia
Monday June 5, 2017 at 7:00pm
AlbumArte – via Flaminia 122 Rome
Topic of the meeting: Testimonies of violence on silent individuals and on those victims defined as “collateral damages”
Artist Teresa Margolles (Mexico, 1963), together with Angel Moya Garcia, explores the causes and the social consequences of gender-based violence, of inequalities and of murder, as well as the socio-economic order that “normalizes” such violent acts, within the context of poverty and conflicts between drug traffickers in Mexico. Among the artists that have dealt with these issues the most, her works express a naked realism and firmly condemn such phenomena, showing the effects on the victims’ families, on communities and on the urban space. The spectator also participates in the families’ and communities’ grief and suffering resulting from the brutality of organized crime, shifting from an individual dimension to a collective and universal one.
In collaboration with the Real Academia de España en Roma and Associazione Culturale Dello Scompiglio.

Teresa Margolles (born 1963 in Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico) is a visual artist, who examines the causes and the social consequences of death, destruction and civil war. The artist is well known for creating artworks focused on the themes of violence, gender and alienation. Her work criticises the social and economic orders that make certain violent deaths normal, transgressing social and artistic conventions and underlining the complicity of the government in generating violence and poverty. She has exhibited in numerous museums, institutions and international foundations. Among the major exhibitions: Dallas Biennial, 2017; Biennial of Bolivia, 2016; Neuberger Museum of Art, Acquisto, NY, USA, 2015; Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich, 2014; Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo, Madrid, 2014; Principe Claus Fund, Amsterdam, 2012; Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC), Città del Messico, 2012; Museo de Arte Moderno, Città del Messico, 2011; Museion, Bolzano, 2011; Kunsthalle Fridericianum, Kassel, 2010; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, 2010; the Venice Biennale, Mexican Pavilion, Venice, 2009.
