EXPOSICIÓN TEMPORAL
Betsabeé Romero. A vuelta de rueda
Atrio de Templo de San Francisco
Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México
Del 15 de febrero al 26 de abril de 2009
A VUELTA DE RUEDA,
el Atrio de San Francisco, sitio evocador de épocas y personajes que han transitado reales y simbólicamente por el corazón de una Antigua Ciudad.
La Torre Latinoamericana, el Sanborns de los Azulejos, el Banco de México, Bellas Artes, la calle de Madero, historias largas, itinerarios ancestrales, aceras insuficientes para un paso continuo y multitudinario hacia el interior y el exterior del Centro Histórico.
A VUELTA DE RUEDA, frase coloquial llena de imágenes,
por un lado la velocidad, contra la que tengo muchas resistencias
y, por otro, descripción del ritmo cadencioso y lento con el que se tiene que transitar en esta zona, tan saturada de momentos y monumentos importantes de la historia de la ciudad y de la vida de las personas.
A VUELTA
Redunda en la posibilidad de dar un giro simbólico a la rueda,a la circularidad de los significados, al eterno retorno de las reflexiones, a la movilidad y al ritmo.
DE RUEDA
Figura atávica, instrumento y forma mítica, ojiva arquitectónica, mirada de Tláloc.
Lugar de la memoria, rodillo, sello, rosetón, cúpula, gloria abierta, ventana hacia la memoria en movimiento.
El automóvil, en A VUELTA DE RUEDA será desde un principio: sedentario, continente de trayectos aprehendidos, pieza, complemento, parte de un todo, visto y vivido en sus contradicciones y sinsentidos.
Betsabée Romero.

The Monastery

Happy Easter.
Good Friday, also called Holy Friday, Great Friday or Black Friday, is a religious holiday observed primarily by adherents to Christianity commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus and his death at Golgotha, an event central to Christian theology. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday, and often coincides with the Jewish observance of Passover.

Based on the scriptural details of the Sanhedrin Trial of Jesus, the Crucifixion of Jesus was most probably on a Friday. The exact year of Good Friday has been estimated as AD 33, by two different groups, and originally as AD 34 by Isaac Newton via the differences between the Biblical and Julian calendars and the crescent of the Moon.

Here, Cathedral and Convent of La Asuncion. This compound has three churches and a chapel, which is said to be the oldest chapel on the American continent. The cloister houses valuable frescos of Saint Philip of Jesus, a Franciscan martyr in Japan.
Cuernavaca's downtown cathedral dates from 1552.

Artist Robert Brady lived and died in a former 16th century meteorological observatory of the Franciscan seminary behind the Casa de la Torre, leaving a fascinating and rich collection of art he had collected over his lifetime. Works by Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Paul Klee and Francisco Toledo are among the 1400 pieces in the collection. This museum was second choice as the location for Mexico's Guggenheim Museum, which is being constructed in Guadalajara, Jalisco.

In the Catholic Church, Holy Thursday (also known as Maundy Thursday) is the day that we celebrate the Last Supper, at which Christ instituted the Mass and the Sacrament of Holy Communion. It is the first day of the Triduum, the three days before Easter Sunday, during which we commemorate Christ's Passion. [About.com]
