Descripción del Profesional del arte

Maria Inés Rodríguez is a Colombian-French curator. Currently leading the Walter Leblanc Foundation in Brussels, Rodriguez is engaged in the comprehensive reorganization of the foundation. Her role involves redefining its mission, objectives, and programs while ensuring optimal conservation conditions for the collection. Simultaneously, she holds the position of Artistic Director of Tropical Papers, an inclusive cultural forum created in 2005. Committed to nurturing reflections on art, architecture, design and scientific research, Tropical Papers actively collaborates with cultural practitioners from and within the tropics. Rodriguez has a professional experience that includes positions of direction and curatorship at the institutional level. She was the Director of the CAPC Musée d'art Contemporain in Bordeaux (France), Curator at Large for Modern and Contemporary art at Museu de Arte de Sāo Paulo, MASP; Chief Curator at the MUAC in Mexico City, as well as at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León (MUSAC) in Spain and guest curator at the Jeu de Paume in Paris. As a Director at CAPC Musée d’art Contemporain of Bordeaux, the core of her project was to consolidate the museum as a platform for knowledge trough the exhibition, cultural and educational programs. Her program at CAPC includes major retrospectives with significant artists like Judy Chicago, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Franz Erhard Walther, Beatriz Gonzalez and site specific projects for the nave of the museum with Danh Vo, Leonor Antunes, Rosa Barba, Naufus Ramirez Figueroa. As well a project of exhibitions dedicated to emergent artist and curators in co production with Jeu de Paume, Paris and Museo Amparo, Puebla. The Collection was also one of her main responsibilities and it was at the heart of its concerns, expanding its visibility as a heritage and educational tool. Since October 2016, a permanent exhibition entitled [sic] works from the CAPC Collection curated by José L. Blondet, presented a selection of some hundred works of the Collection displayed across the second floor galleries. Interested in artist books and printed editions, she has organized exhibitions with public collections dedicated to artist books from Serralves, CDLA-Limousin, Beau Geste Press. Between 2011 and 2013 Mrs. Rodríguez held the position of chief curator at the Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporaneo (MUAC) in Mexico City, where she led the public, collections, and exhibitions programs. She has worked with the team on exhibitions and research projects exploring the appropriation of public space in art, design, education, architecture, and urbanism: Yona Friedman, the Boroullec brothers and developed ambitious projects with Teresa Margolles, Nicolás Paris, Akram Zatari, Jonas Meckas, Carlos Cruz Diez and La Ribot among others. From 2009 to 2011 she was chief curator at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y Léon (MUSAC) in Spain, with a program dealing with the links between artistic production and historic, political and social contexts, favouring a dialogue on the local and global. This approach was reflected in a series of solo exhibitions that included Claire Fontaine and Alexander Apóstol, as well as in group exhibitions such as El Grito, and Model Kits, and in the collection of monographic editions Arte y Arquitectura AA MUSAC. She has been awarded the following grants: Fondation Patiño - Ville de Genève, American Center Foundation, Apex Art Center in New York and Davidoff Arts Initiative.
