McBETT
Set Designer/Visual & Performance Artist/Theatre Curator/Organiser
McBett works in different social contexts. Her research, always socially and intellectually aware, includes a deep interest in the continuous exchange within the local environment, inasmuch as it is influenced and moved by contemporary events, people’s lives and public spaces, even when she adopts more literary or historical archetypes to explore them.
She has been involved in artistic projects in Ireland and Italy for the past twenty years. Graduated in Set Design from the Roman Academy of Fine Art in 1984 she subsequently never stopped to work in both set design and interior design. Over the years she worked as a Sculptor, Constructor and Restorer, Performer, Art Teacher, Event Curator, Organizer, Writer and Musician.
She has won awards in Italy and Ireland and grants to promote her artistic endeavours. She exhibits and performs in group and solo exhibitions across Europe and America.
"(......)This would say that the final truth should be found beyond the western logocentric model limits, (......) that the being coincides just with the kaleidoscope of truths formulated in the attempt of naming it; that there is no trascendental meaning; that the being is the same process of continuous dismantling, which when told becomes more fluid, more malleable, more elusive or (......) bugged and friable; (.......) knot of endless junctions over-travelled by various options, labyrinth."
Kant and the Platypus - Umberto Eco
