Nerina Rosende
I was born in the City of Buenos Aires. I live and work in Tigre, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I am a Graphic Designer and I trained in a multidisciplinary way in the areas of analog and digital photography, metalwork, sculpture, painting and ceramics with important references in the contemporary art circuit. My training in Expressive Rhythmic Dynamics (Milderman System) nourishes my artistic practice, adding the corporal and performative to the work.
I am interested in three-dimensional expression: objects, sculptural scenes and installations, with interest and focus on creating multidisciplinary, interactive and immersive works that open spaces for reflection, dialogue and participation.
Ask questions that propose new, deeper and more enriching questions.
Generate an exchange and make other positions visible, expand listening.
Rescue and question what, in everyday life, is naturalized and goes unnoticed.
Dive into the bonds, the familiar, the domestic. Social roles and in the most intimate environment.
The naturalized, the assumed and the chosen.
Exercises to contain crying (NAT Art Residence - 10/2023)
These exercises will be of great help in perfecting any method you usually use to hide your emotions.
Although it is true that tears are essentially quite elusive, regular practice of these exercises will provide you with tools to contain them effectively.
Some general recommendations:
- Breathe shallowly throughout the exercise.
- Keep your teeth clenched.
- Close your mouth so that no breath escapes, not even a sigh.
- Lock your knees so that the energy does not connect with the earth.
- If in the process you feel any emotion arising, close your senses to it.
- You may feel a lump in your throat, if so, swallow hard.
- Let your mind guides you.

I come from a lineage of strong women, “suck it up and don't protest” my mother said until the end.
In the hardest moments of life,
grit your teeth,
put aside the pain,
Behave yourself.
Be effective, protection, solution, idea, consolation, action.
Be lap.
That's the way you love.
Where was our crying? Who will offer his lap today?
