La Galería Rebelde presents three artists that represent the gallery’s program and future projects for the upcoming years. With two important women artists from Guatemala and one new media artist from México, la Galería Rebelde presents itself as a contemporary project that aims for the internationalization of Guatemala's art and the exchange of international artists with the local context.
From Guatemala, La Galería Rebelde presents two female artists that explore notions of the self, memory and their own relationship with body and nature from two different angles. They are also women whose work has made significant contributions to Guatemala’s art history and are now exploring new paths for their work. De Tezanos searches for the “sacred” using light and color as a way to relate to nature and create immersive experiences with the spectators leading them to the present moment. Maria Adela Diaz presentes her video-performance “Blossom”, made in springtime at a mustard landscape in California. The piece creates a metaphor through color, presenting her in an oniric scenario dressed the same yellow tone as all the blossoms, speaking about her own experience as an immigrant woman, a condition in which color makes a difference.
Making another bold statement and representing the interest of the project with the dialogue between Guatemala and other contexts, Alonso Cedillo displays the museum and gift shop of his project Friends of Corruption Museum (FoCM), using satire and humor to provoke situations that emphasize how deep corruption goes into our society.
This diverse program is only a glimpse of La Galería Rebelde’s project and a generator of multiple questions to revisit our present time through fictional scenarios and connections with body and identity, located in a social context dominated by power, image and fictions.
