The exhibition "Plastic Butcher" takes its title from a previously unseen work presented for the first time in the museum's garden.
Around fifty works spanning from 1998 to 2024 are displayed, not in chronological order but arranged by visual, formal, or narrative connections. The exhibition is not a retrospective but rather a manifesto, revealing, with no pretense, Anita Molinero's humor, exuberance, anger, words, and silences. Often described as a sculptor of fire, she transforms objects with brutal and irreversible gestures: heating, twisting, slashing, puncturing, compressing, and striking. She pushes the material of each object to the edge of formlessness. Between destruction and shaping, she sculpts new life into forms.
