Announcement for my exhibition at the Museo de Arte de Queretaro, Mexico

Linda Soberman at
the Museo de Arte de Queretaro
By Margaret Failoni

In this month of March, in which women are celebrated throughout the Western world, the poliedric artist Linda Soberman presents an exhibition celebrating women in the Museo de Arte de Queretaro.
With two large rooms at her disposal, the artist separates the exhibition into two themes. The first mixes the womens' theme with that of the Holocaust and violence in general against women; an installation of showering chairs with womens’ faces on the higher level attached to the chairs and as they fall to the ground, the chairs are empty. There is a beautifully executed folding book in which, with each page, the face of a women starts to vanish, to leave an empty page towards the end, are but a few of the works exhibited. The second room is much more surreal. Beautifully executed works on paper with several mediums interposed to create extraordinary effects. Antique prints of female nudes by renaissance masters are juxtaposed onto chin colle, photo-lithos and/or collage sometimes hand colored to create contemporary situations. A group of female heads sit expressionlessly onto long, slim poles with the word silence beneath each head. There is no doubt that this artist is an artistic power to be reckoned with. We look forward to seeing much more of her work.
The exhibition, which most definitely should not be missed, will remain open to the pubic through the month of April.
