LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION ARTIST ALEXIS RIVERO

I am Dr. Milagros Bello, I am an art critic, and a Miami based curator for Contemporary Art with a wide art experience and knowledge of international and local artists, as well as of Latin American Art. I obtained my Ph.D. in Sociology of Art, and a master’s degree in Art History at Sorbonne University in Paris, France. I am a Member of the International Art Critics Association (AICA-PARIS). I am an art writer for local and international art magazines, and a former Senior Editor of Arte Al Dia International art magazine. For fourteen years, from 2000-2014, I have taught as professor of art in diverse theoretical areas of expertise, such as Critical Theories, History of Art, History of Modern and Contemporary Photography, Sociology, graduate and undergraduate levels at Americans universities, the Florida International University (FIU), Florida Atlantic University (FAU), Miami International University (The Art Institute/Miami), and the Istituto Marangoni/Miami. Since 2010 to present, I have curated numerous shows in contemporary art, nationally and internationally. In 2021 and 2022 I have curated important shows based on the pandemic situation such as Nowness. The Pandemic Station, Concurrences, Delectables and Not during the Art Basel season 2022. From April through November 27, 2022, in the context of the 59th Venice Biennale, I have curated the exhibition “Americans. Current  Imaginaries.” at the European Cultural Center, in Venice Italy. On June 30, 2022, I gave a lecture on the same topic at Personal Structures/Reflection, in the European Cultural Center, in Venice, Italy. Currently I am the director and chief curator of MIA Curatorial Projects (former Curator’s Voice Art Projects, before Pandemic, founded in 2010) in Miami. I am a mentor and a coach motivator for artists.

This letter has the purpose of highly recommend and praise the Performance work of Alexis Rivero, who has been working with me and my gallery consistently since 2019 to present in the area of Performing Art. Rivero has made outstanding performances full of theatrical and musical effects presented during my curated exhibitions, such as Nosferatu/ Ciber Vampire (10/27/2019), Giuletta degli Spiriti (07/15/2019), Maleficient (12/07/2019), Farinelli (01/19/2021), Metamorphosis (09/14/2021), Le Marteau sans Maitre.Homage to Pierre Boulez (12/19/2021), Retention. Passages (05/12/2022), and Pathospheles, the most recent one presented during Art Basel Season 2022. Each performance presented was of the highest accomplishment and artistic

quality with singular artistic interpretations of musical themes, and art topics through the art history. His performances involved a high skilled handling of music, light, and theater effects as well as an outstanding creation of characters and costumes. Alexis Rivero has showed a solid commitment to his presentations. He is one of the artistic figures that works with the highest level of professionalism in the Miami Cultural scene.
