"Structured from pictorial tradition, González remakes established canons from her perspective as a contemporary woman: the sacred passes through the filter of a contemporary aesthetic vision without ceasing to be mystery, transforming into something simultaneously recognizable and radically new. The exhibition invites us to rewrite the narrative from creation itself, a gesture born from respect toward that generative power that was denied and distorted for centuries."
"A new code in which, finally, the word belongs to us. Of all the forms that exist for naming, none proves as elusive as the one that attempts to capture everything that was not said. Feminine dramaturgy represents in itself the architecture of intuition: that knowledge that is not learned, that is not taught, that simply is. It is the sudden clarity of someone who enters a room without knocking."
T293 inaugurates its new Rome location with Nieves González's Sacred Hair / Capelli Sacri, presenting a first solo exhibition in Italy that aligns with the gallery's experimental ethos. González reconstructs Mary Magdalene's identity through emblematic symbols—hair, chalice, cave, blood—recovering the disciple as messenger and spiritual force suppressed by history. The work operates as an altarpiece where classical pictorial tradition and contemporary aesthetics converse to disclose hidden meanings. González reworks canonical forms from a contemporary female viewpoint, preserving mystery while rendering the sacred recognizable and new. The exhibition urges a rewriting of origins, foregrounding feminine dramaturgy and an urgent exposure of what has long been unspoken.
