Maribel Domènech's featured in ‘Releyendo el Fondo de Arte UPV’ exhibition
March 26, 2025
Maribel Domènech's work featured in the group exhibition ‘Releyendo el Fondo de Arte UPV’ at the Polytechnic University of Valencia.
The action of ‘rereading’ goes beyond a simple review of the content of the collections that, since 1990, make up the artistic heritage of the Universitat Politècnica de València. It is a critical exercise that invites us to re-examine the typologies of works, the movements represented and the cultural collections that contribute to creating lines of history and narrative flows in our archive and institutional memory.
This re-reading involves a double action: on the one hand, it seeks to recover works by women artists that have sometimes been forgotten. The invisibility of these works is the result of a system that decides what is archived and what is forgotten; identifying, selecting and preserving these creations is, at the same time, an exercise in rewriting our history. On the other hand, it is about taking another turn to reduce gender inequality, because only 32% of the works in the Art Fund are by women, hence the need to put these works in a central place.
On view until 10 April 2025 at the UPV Central Library.
