On the occasion of Art City Bologna, MAMbo is hosting Mika Rottenberg's solo exhibition.

From January 31 to May 19, 2019, MAMbo - Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna hosts the first solo exhibition in an Italian museum institution by Mika Rottenberg, curated by Lorenzo Balbi.

The Argentine-born artist, who grew up in Israel, now lives in New York: she is among the main protagonists of the contemporary world scene.

In the Sala delle Ciminiere located on the ground floor, as well as in the museum’s Foyer, a selection of her most recent productions - sculptural objects and video installations - famous for their sarcastic and bizarre narrative register will be on view. Rottenberg uses the diverse languages of film, architectural installation and sculpture to explore ideas of class, labor, gender and value through imaginative visual devices that illuminate the hidden connections and processes behind seemingly unrelated global economies. Interweaving elements of fiction with documentary data into narratives where geographies and narratives collapse into surreal nonsense, the artist creates complex allegories about the capitalist system that governs human conditions and the processes of massive commodity production.

Three new works, the production of which was supported by MAMbo in collaboration with two major European museum institutions, Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art London and Kunsthaus Bregenz, are being exhibited on the occasion of the show.
The exhibition project will be inaugurated on Tuesday, January 30, 2019 at 6 p.m. and is part of the main program of the seventh edition of ART CITY Bologna, the institutional program of exhibitions, events and special initiatives promoted by the Municipality of Bologna in collaboration with BolognaFiere on the occasion of Arte Fiera.
