RESISTANCE AND VIOLENCE IN MAYA GODED, IN MEMORIA GALLERY
Soy mujer que habla con el viento is the proposal that, around the production of the famous photographer Maya Goded (Mexico City, Mexico, 1967), presents the Madrid gallery Memoria (at its Centro venue) within the PhotoEspaña program.
In this first solo exhibition of the Mexican photographer in a gallery in Spain (let's not forget her great exhibition at the Reina Sofia in 2001), twenty snapshots are compiled in whose selection has converged the protagonism of women in struggle who fight to eradicate the violence of those who break into their demographic geographies.
That struggle is the same that Goded embodies in the skin and in a female body that travels through Latin American accidents, from valleys to jungles, that frame that almost atavistic relationship of the feminine with nature and even a certain cosmovision. The photographer shows how they are the ones who understand the synergies and behaviours in a much closer interaction and, therefore, rejecting that anthropocentrism that has been consolidated in recent reality.
Thus, her proposal differs from those patterns and, on the contrary, stands and consolidates on that other reality built around the environment, the ritual and the ancestral and that catharsis that derives its way of understanding the world into something to defend for its vital existence.
Maya Goded: Soy mujer que habla con el viento will be open to the public until July 20 at the Central venue of Galería Memoria, 19 Piamonte St., Madrid, Spain.

THE URGENT BESTIARY OF ROBERT NAVA
Standing before the expressive forcefulness of Mexican-American Robert Nava (East Chicago, USA, 1985) can be risky. At first glance, the primitivism in the technique used in his canvases is shocking in the conversion of the strength of the stroke and the basics of the gesture into a language that agglutinates a brute force. Perhaps for that reason, the usual tendency of those who face his work is to quickly pigeonhole it out of the academic, out of that refinement that is presupposed -although less and less- to those who fill the room of a museum, to let themselves be carried away by the urgency of expression in front of that pretended good taste.
