Activity of the CITISSIMUM ALTISSIMUM FORTISSIMUM exhibition

Language: catalan and spanish

In this performance, the artist will begin by removing her headphones and glasses, then she will repeatedly ascend and descend a staircase. Each time she climbs or descends, she will carry a sign with different phrases related to heroism and the competitive, sports-like language that society often uses toward people with disabilities, leaving each sign on a different step of the staircase.

She holds a degree in Fine Arts and a postgraduate qualification in Artistic Education in Social and Cultural Institutions, both from the Complutense University of Madrid. She currently combines her work in the education department of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid—where she focuses on cultural mediation and programming for people with disabilities—with her doctoral studies in Fine Arts, also at UCM.

She has performed at the Reina Sofía Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, CA2M, MUSAC, Almacén in Lanzarote, and gives talks in various master's programs and museums on cultural mediation and the inclusion of people with disabilities in cultural spaces.

Her works are part of collections such as Ana de Alvear’s, Marina Vargas’, and CA2M’s, among others. Her artistic practice focuses on validating error and challenging stereotypes of beauty and behavior. She seeks an alternative path by researching coexistence between normative and non-normative individuals.

CITISSIMUM ALTISSIMUM FORTISSIMUM

CITISSIMUM ALTISSIMUM FORTISSIMUM is an exhibition about a contemporary phenomenon that, despite radically affecting our lives, remains underrepresented in the art world: sport as a symptom of contemporary society.
