Starting Friday, April 3rd, the Museo de Arte Moderno in Medellín offers the public a 360 virtual tour of the exhibition "Libia Posada. Definition of the Horizon," inaugurated on March 11th.
Due to COVID-19, the Museum temporarily closed its galleries since March 14th, so its programming has migrated to the digital space. The MAMM developed, in alliance with Cámara Lúcida, a virtual tour of the exhibition of this Antioquia artist, which can be accessed through the Museum's website elmamm.org or the MAMM's social media.
Cámara Lucida developed the tour with Matterport technology. "It is a device that, with several microcameras, records 135 megapixels of the space. It makes the automated 360° turn and integrates it into software until the entire area is mapped," said Óscar Garcés, Director of Cámara Lúcida.
The exhibition "Libia Posada. Definition of the horizon," is a journey through twenty years of the career of this artist also trained as a doctor, disciplines in which she operates in parallel. Topics such as mental health, the experience of war, gender violence, the relationship of the body with the territory, and the ways to cure the disease, can be seen in the works.
Libia Posada was born in Medellín (Colombia) in 1959. In the words of Emiliano Valdés, chief curator of the MAMM, "she was a pioneer in thinking of art as a space for a confluence of different disciplines" Currently, she works as a lecturer at the Universidad de Antioquia and at the Fundación Universitaria de Bellas Artes in Medellín. Her body-centered discourse unfolds in drawings, installations, video, photography, and interventions in public or institutional spaces to examine the relationships between the individual, collective, biological, mental, geographic, and political body.
