Congratulations to past exhibiting artist, Elena del Rivero, named as a recipient of Anonymous Was a Woman, a New York-based organization awarding unrestricted grants to woman-identified artists over the age of 40 and at a critical junction in their career. Elena del Rivero (b. 1949 Valencia, Spain) was included at the University Art Museum in 2010 as part of the exhibition Courier. The physical act of typing serves to embed memory and chart the passage of time in Nine Broke...n Letters (2002-04), an installation of ghost-like, barely decipherable drawings by Spanish-born artist Elena del Rivero. Based on her fragmented writings composed in the wake of 9/11, del Rivero uses both the typewriter and hand-calligraphy to give visual form to her ruptured thoughts while simultaneously acknowledging that it is impossible to rely on language alone as a means of communication. Elena del Rivero Letter #3 from Nine Broken Letters, 2004 Hand-calligraphy on watermarked abaca paper Installation consists of 10 sheets, 60 x 40 inches Courtesy of the artist
