IRINA BOTEA
"A Moment of Citizenship"
Satellite programme, second edition proposed by María Inés Rodríguez
from 30 June 2009 until 27 September 2009
In her work Irina Botea tries to reinterpret the images of History made by the media, and to develop sympathy with the more or less active protagonists of historical situations to which our only access is now through the media.
This exhibition features two videos: Auditions for a Revolution, made in 2006, and a new work produced for Jeu de Paume, Before a National Anthem, devoted to the creation of a new Romanian national anthem.
Irina Botea was born in Ploiesti (Romania) in 1970. After graduating from Bucharest University of Arts she received her MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she is currently teaching.
