From July 3 to October 6, 2024, Palazzo Esposizioni Roma and the Museo Nazionale Romano, Terme di Diocleziano, host the exhibitions dedicated to the Mexican artist Javier Marín. The exhibition project, entitled MATERIAE, is one of the main cultural events within the celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Italy and Mexico. Promoted by the Ministry of Culture, the General Directorate of Museums, the Department of Culture of Rome Capital, and the Special Company Palaexpo, with the patronage of the Embassy of Mexico in Italy, under the auspices of the Presidency of the Culture Commission, Chamber of Deputies, the exhibition is realized in collaboration with the Javier Marín Foundation, the Terreno Baldio Arte Gallery, and the Barbara Paci Gallery. Sculptor, draftsman, painter, Javier Marín (Uruapan, Mexico 1962) has always paid tribute, through his over thirty-year career, to Italian culture and art history, blending pre-Hispanic inspired themes with the forms and languages of Tuscan Mannerism and Baroque Roman. The exhibition tells the artist's journey and his research, from the early experiences of monumental sculpture - created with materials such as red earth from Oaxaca or bronze worked in Mexican foundries - to new experiments in recycled resin, obtained through digital images or using 3D printers. Marín's works are the result of a dialogue between his native culture and Italian artistic experiences. In particular, from Mexican culture and history, the artist critically and confidently investigates the events of the 16th and 17th centuries. MATERIAE is a collection of works that narrates, as a whole, the different directions taken by Marín in his research. Weightless and flexible bodies, fleshy, exuberant, and tense forms find a new expression through the use of new materials, supports, and formats: in addition to marble and wood, digital drawing, painting, polyester resin, and tapestry.
