Teresa Margolles (b. Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico 1963. she lives and works between Spain and México) inquires and denounces through photography, video, installation and performance the dramatic diaspora taking place at the border between Venezuela and Colombia: one of the largest mass migrations in Latin American history. Margolles will exhibit the results of some of her fieldwork she made on the Simón Bolívar bridge, one of the geographical points that connect Colombia and Venezuela, questioning the physical and mental limits of a border. "The exhibition "Estorbo" (obstruction), inspired in the upsurge of intolerance and xenophobia at every level, including gender, social, cultural, political and racial issues, comprises a new body of work especially conceived by Margolles for this exhibition, including a daily performance that will progressively build a environmental piece that will expand throughout the space.
