THE SUBTLE EMBROIDERY OF PAIN BY MARISA CAICHIOLO AT LNM MUSEUM
The Museo La Neomudéjar presents No hay más ciego que el que no quiere ver (No one is more blind than the one who refuses to see), a solo exhibition by Marisa Caichiolo (Santa Fe, Argentina, 1974). In this project, the artist explores and materializes pain and absence, primarily through embroidery. Drawing from her personal experiences, Caichiolo constructs narratives of resistance and instrumental memory to confront traumatic episodes—many of them rooted in forced disappearances.

Embroidery, a technique she has frequently used in recent years, becomes a powerful medium for expressing a message that is not only aesthetic or artistic but also deeply political. Rather than isolating these elements, she integrates them with objects and video art, expanding the scope of her analysis beyond the material realm.
Her work also underscores the importance of recognizing and studying historical records, acknowledging the weight of memory. Without ignoring the emotional impact of these events, Caichiolo creates experiences that evoke the home, the intimate and shared space, and the bonds of family. Through subtlety and restraint, she reinforces the urgency of resistance against the passage of time and the unfolding of history.
No hay más ciego que el que no quiere ver can be seen until April 16 at Museo Centro de Artes de Vanguardia La Neomudéjar, Antonio Nebrija, s/n, Madrid (Spain).
