stand 7a12 For its first participation in ARCO, the gallery will present (booth 7A12) the works of Cuban artist Misleidys Castillo Pedroso and Brazilian artist Marilena Pelosi, two Latin American artists whose history is rooted in alterity, and whose productions have long been kept secret.
By addressing the question of the representation of the body, they go beyond stereotypes and overturn the established social and symbolic order. This reconquest is operated in them by mutation, transfiguration: for Misleidys Castillo Pedroso, the body is magnified, omnipotent, hieratic and without consideration of gender; for Marilena Pelosi, it is ritualized, jubilatory and, paradoxically, expiatory. These two artists have in common to propose a frontal reading of the body, not lived any more like a generator of emotions, but rather like an intercessor with the world.
