The Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Rome exhibits the Nationalism Domestic project, by the Spanish artist Mateo Maté. The exhibition deliberately displays its narrative dimension in places of passage and connection in different spaces within the museum -generally not dedicated to exhibition activity-, where everyday objects refer to an apparently family life, but whose reality is imbued with numerous concerns and riddles.
Maté explores tensions and forms of violence very present in the contemporanity but represented within contexts considered protected: domestic spaces. It is in these spaces where the private, the political and the social are intertwined and confused. Through irony and the critical involvement of the viewer, Mateo Maté’s installations address issues such as the construction of identity, the growing militarization of the domestic sphere, the relationship between art and life, the emergence of video surveillance as new narration of contemporary life, or the internalization of the mechanisms of power.
