Betsabeé Ramiro at the Neuberger museum
I want so much to post pictures of Ms. Romeros’ sprawling show at the Neuberger this month. I was lucky enough to be one of the Art Handlers called in to put the show up as well as work with the curator. Picture a high ceilinged gallery filled with gorgeous wooden crates stamped with black symbols and stacked one on top of the other.
Then we opened them.
The first object of Romero’s I set my eyes on was a carved tire with gilded tread and I said to my partner “I love it, its gilded rubbish.”
The overarching theme of this exhibition strikes me as the reclamation of beauty from broken industrial objects; cars and all their parts mostly.
