Irina Botea: "A Moment of Citizenship"
National Museum of Contemporary Art, Bucharest

Extramural
In her work Irina Botea tries to reinterpret the images of History made by the media, and to develop sympathy with the more or less active protagonists of historical situations to which our only access is now through the media.
This exhibition proposed by María Inés Rodríguez features two videos: Auditions for a Revolution, made in 2006, and a new work produced for Jeu de Paume, Before a National Anthem, devoted to the creation of a new Romanian national anthem.
Irina Botea was born in Ploiesti (Romania) in 1970. After graduating from Bucharest University of Arts she received her MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she is currently teaching.
Exhibition coproduced by the Jeu de Paume with the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Bucharest.
Curated by María Inés Rodríguez.
