Opening Reception: Thursday, August 19, 2010 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m..

The title of the exhibit, Inside Silence, documents the personal journey into the void and silence of the interior experience, of a certain conscience that we may have with said concepts by the way of their symbolization in a tangible landscape. Inside Silence is a work in which each piece reiterates a particular way of seeing things, similar to a predetermined mental representation of silence. At the same time, the construction of a landscape where roots and foliage remain out of view, revealing itself as a repetitive image of a trunk and its exterior white space in a tangible form that occupies our whole field of vision.

Alejandro Benassini was born in Mexico City on august 6 of 1973. He studied Visual Arts in the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas (UNAM). In Mexico City and in Veracruz, he had worked as a professor in plastic arts, giving production workshop.

The International Museum of Art & Science acknowledges the Mexican Consulate in McAllen, Espect-arte for their invaluable support towards bringing Inside Silence to McAllen, and for helping to increase cultural awareness of the work of renowned Mexican artists.
