Premiata cu Leul de Aur pentru tanar artist in 2005 la Bienala de la Venezia, Regina Josà Galindo foloseste performance-ul si propriul corp ca principale instrumente in procesul artistic. Printr-un fel de re-enactment, artista se substituie celor slabi si umili, celor torturati sau oprimati, punand in scena situatii-limita. Propriul ei corp delicat, feminin este maltratat, intr-un fel de âauto-expunereâ si substituire altruista la o varietate de traume impuse celorlalte fiinte umane in regimuri politice opresive. Discursul Reginei Josà Galindo face trimitere si la alte lucrari din zona activista si gender issues cu referiri la mituri ancestrale samanice si gesturi de exorcizare cum ar fi cele ale Anei Mendieta, Sigalit Landau, ritualuri ale rezistentei ca la Tania Bruguera sau la Teresa Margolles, cu instalatii impresionante despre moarte si marginalii societatii.

Centrata pe problematici dure ale unei umanitati asuprite, expozitia Urgent Issues prezinta o selectie a celor mai importante lucrari realizate intre anii 1999 si 2009, si va fi urmata de un catalog publicat de PrometeoGallery.

Having been awarded the Golden Lion for Best Young Artist at the Venice Biennale in 2005, Regina Josà Galindo uses performance and her own body as main devices in the artistic process. Through a kind of re-enactment, the artist substitutes herself to the weak and the humble, to the tortured and the oppressed, staging limit situation. Her own delicate, feminine body is mistreated, in a kind of âself-exposureâ and unselfishly substituting herself to various traumas inflicted upon other human beings in oppressive political regimes. Regina Josà Galindoâs discourse thus relates to other works in the activist area and gender issues with reference to ancestral shamanic myths and exorcising gestures such as Ana Mendietaâs and Sigalit Landauâs, to the rituals of resistance in Tania Brugueraâs and Teresa Margollesâ work: impressive installations over death and the excluded of society.

Focusing on tough issues of an oppressed humanity, Urgent Issues presents a selection of the most important works created between 1999 and 2009 and will be followed by a catalogue edited by PrometeoGallery.
