BY ALL MEANS, her survey exhibition was curated by Johanna Burton, <strong>Director of The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles<\/strong> and former curator at the New Museum. Barrio\u2019s monograph catalogue will be published by international publishing house SKIRA in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smack Mellon (NYC) recently presented did not feel low, was sleeping, premiering Itziar Barrio\u2019s multidisciplinary trilogy Material (2016-2023) as a site specific installation in the main gallery space. The exhibition comprised film based projects A Demon that Slips into Your Telescope While You\u2019re Dead Tired and Blocks the Light; ROBOTA MML; and Particle Matter alongside a new series of sculptures, some of which are robotic. The exhibition unfolded across multiple screens and objects through speculative narratives and non-linear timelines to investigate the intersections between technology, labor, identity, and matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barrio\u2019s long term project THE PERILS OF OBEDIENCE (2010 \u2013 2022) premiered at PARTICIPANT INC in NYC in 2022.

Following the performance a solo show by Itziar Barrio took place in the gallery space.\u00a0This project merges different media and challenges notions of social rules, participating in a larger debate about labor conditions and subjectivity.\u00a0THE PERILS OF OBEDIENCE places a cast of performers within fictional and non-fictional parameters, using material from iconic movie scripts, narratives from their own lives, manifestos, and historical and recent events. The audience witnesses at the same time the performance and the making of a movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Itziar Barrio\u2019s work has been presented internationally at: MACRO Museum, Rome; MATADERO, Madrid; MACBA, Barcelona; Museum of Contemporary Art of Belgrade, Serbia; PARTICIPANT INC, New York City;\u00a0Abrons Arts Center, New York City; Anthology Films Archives,\u00a0NYC; tranzit, Romania; (ENPAP) European Network of Public Art Producers; Espacio ODE\u00d3N, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia; ARTIUM Museum, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain;\u00a0Hudson Valley Center of Contemporary Art (HVCCA), Peekskill, NY; Festival of Ideas for the New City at New Museum, NYC; Havana Biennial 2009, Cuba; Storefront for Art and Architecture, NYC; acb Gallery, Budapest, Hungary; Rinc\u00f3n Projects, Bogota, Colombia; 404 Festival of Post-Electronic Art 2008, Trieste, Italy; PiSt,\u00a0Istanbul, Turkey; Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, Poland; The Kunsthaus Tacheles, Berlin; LOOP, Barcelona; Sala Rekalde, Bilbao, Spain; and Galerie Thomas Henry Ross, Montreal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Itziar Barrio is a New Museum\u2019s incubator NEW INC member (2020-2023) and was a 2018-2019 recipient of the Spanish Academy in Rome Fellowship.
