Narcissus Quagliata es considerado uno de los artistas contemporáneos en vidrio más significativos. Ha definido un nuevo camino para el arte del vidrio y es mejor conocido por sus espectaculares obras de arte en espacios públicos, que han atraído la atención mundial.
La Cúpula de la Luz: Viento, Fuego y Tiempo es la cúpula de cristal iluminada más grande del mundo. Está situado en la Estación Central del recién construido sistema de metro Kaohsiung Rapid Transit y es un punto de referencia que ahora se ha convertido en un destino turístico en el sur de Taiwán.
Su cautivadora cúpula de vidrio para la rotonda de entrada de la basílica de Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri, diseñada por Miguel Ángel sobre las ruinas romanas de las Termas de Diocleciano en Roma, es bien conocida por el uso de la luz dentro del espacio para manifestar la movimiento y alineación de los cuerpos celestes.
Sus finas obras de arte en vidrio y sus acuarelas de los Arquetipos y Tesoros del Mediterráneo se han coleccionado en todo el mundo en museos y colecciones privadas. En particular, estas obras se encuentran en las colecciones del Museo Metropolitano de Nueva York; Museo De Young en San Francisco; Museo de Oakland en California; Museo Chrysler en Newport, VA; Museo de la Granja de San Ildefonso en Segovia, España; y en la Fundación Cultural del Sureste en Kaohsiung, Taiwán.
She has a Master's degree in Curatorial Studies from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and a Master's degree in Museology from the Mexican Art Center.
In 2004 she began her journey through the contemporary art museums of the National Institute of Fine Arts, such as the Siqueiros Public Art Hall and the Carrillo Gil Museum of Art.
Since 2013 she has been working as associate curator of the Collection of the University Museum of Contemporary Art (MUAC).
In 2015 she was appointed Deputy Director of the National Museum of Art (MUNAL). Later, she was Head of Communication for the Coordination of Cultural Dissemination at UNAM and Director of the International Program at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, LACMA.
She has been a consultant for projects such as Pre-Hispanic Mural Painting and UNAM Culture Download. Her international training includes her participation in the Getty Leadership Institute museum leaders program and presentations at the American Alliance of Museums. She has also coordinated programs for the Institute for Leadership in Museums (ILM).
Exhibitions
She has held collective and individual exhibitions in Mexico and abroad.
In 2019 she curated the exhibition Codices de México: Los Libros Antiguos del Nuevo Mundo, which was exhibited in the United Arab Emirates, and traveled to the CerModern Museum in Ankara in 2021, in collaboration with the Embassy of Turkey. The sample was a selection of 16 facsimiles of codices kept in different international and national museums, made of amate paper, deerskin, and European paper. The codices belong to the Borgia, Boturini and Magliabechiano, Maya, Mexica, and Mixtec groups.
In Mexico, she recently curated the exhibition of the painter Rafael Cauduro at the Museo de San Ildefonso Un Cauduro es un Cauduro (He is a Cauduro) which opened in March 2022.
The curator considers that the technical contributions of the painter have led him to have a great place in the history of Mexican art:
"I am convinced that Cauduro's trajectory must be shown"
On the role of women within the creative industries, Alesha Mercado says:
"In response to whether we should bet on greater inclusion in leadership positions for women, the answer is an absolute yes. The issue is that we have to transform this binary, paternalistic, and domination logic with which we have built our reality"
"None of us, listen to this, none of us will witness a world with gender equality, and perhaps neither will our daughters"
