Alessandro Balteo-Yazbeck
LOOKING BACK MOVING FORWARD
- Durban Segnini Gallery, Miami (US)
- 23.11.2024–27.04.2025
Cuated by Rina Carvajal, the group exhibition features works by contemporary artists Alexander Apóstol, Alessandro Balteo-Yazbeck, Mariana Bunimov, Luis Molina-Pantin, Javier Téllez and Christian Vinck.
The work of Balteo-Yazbeck adresses contemporary problems from a hybrid practice that combines research with curatorial, archival and historian tasks into a form of cultural criticism. Working with a variety of media – such as photography, film, installation and found materials – Balteo-Yazbeck's practice is linked to current political events, as well as to the strategies and mechanisms of power that originated in modernity and that have had devastating dehumanizing effects.
In LOOKING BACH MOVING FORWARD, Alessandro Balteo-Yazbeck interrogates the fractures within Venezuela's modernity critically highlighting the stark contrasts between the developmentalist state poilicies and the lived realities of marginalisation.
