Mabi Revuelta. “La màscara habitada”
One day, Joan Miró hung a photograph of the Warka Mask on one of the walls of Son Boter. He had cut it out from the February 19, 1966 issue of Arts & Loisirs magazine. This Sumerian mask, carved in white stone, dates back to around 3300 BCE and is one of the earliest accurate artistic representations of a woman’s face.
Film 4K. 30 min. Colour. Sound
The Inhabited Mask tells the story of a complicit dialogue between two characters who meet in Son Boter. Joan and Ninna walk through Joan Miró’s most magical studio, embarking on their own mythical journey through the rooms of the house. They are presences in a state of suspended consciousness who, with mysterious wisdom, offer their generous vision to the world.
The performance is led by contemporary dancer Pilar Andrés (Ninna), accompanied by the voices of Gabriel Ocina (Joan) and Ena Fernández (Ninna). Together, they shape an original narrative that unfolds at the intersection of dance, film, photography, and sculpture.
The Inhabited Mask is part of a series of audiovisual essays initiated by Mabi Revuelta during her residency at the Spanish Academy in Rome. These films, created in 2023 and grouped under the title La stanza dipinta (The Painted Room), were shot in archaeological parks such as the Etruscan necropolis of Banditaccia (Cerveteri), the Villa of the Mysteries, and the Villa of Poppaea (Pompeii). They reflect on archaeological heritage, the artistic legacy of mural paintings, and the poetic exploration of the spaces that contain them.
Biography of Mabi Revuelta
Mabi Revuelta (Bilbao, 1967) is an artist who explores universal themes such as the relationship between reality and fiction, the fusion of genres (literature, performing arts, sculpture, and audiovisual arts), and the use of didactic strategies that highlight art as a catalyst for social change.
Among her solo exhibitions, Acromática. Una partida inmortal stands out, presented at Azkuna Zentroa (Bilbao, 2020) and in the Main Hall of Tabacalera Promoción del Arte (Madrid, 2021). This project, developed with the support of the BBVA Foundation’s Leonardo Grant (2016), synthesizes many of her research lines, such as the reexamination of 20th-century avant-garde movements and the connection between art and education.
She has exhibited at, among others, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the Spanish Academy in Rome, the ARTIUM Museum, and the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum.
She has received awards such as the Pilar Juncosa & Sotheby’s Biennial Prize (2023) and the Gure Artea Prize (2016), as well as major grants, including from the Spanish Academy in Rome (2022–2023) and the Fundación Botín Grant (2003), which enabled her to undertake a residency at the International Studio & Curatorial Program in New York.
