Bronx Blue Bedroom Project (BBBP) is pleased to present the work of Gabriela Alva Cal y Mayor

One spring morning in a bedroom, a blue bedroom in Mott Haven, a number of objects were found, under a pile of mattresses. No one can explain how they got there. Yet, when people saw them, they claimed it was a reminisce of the findings at the banks of the Tiber river. The discovery of the vaulted pile of mattresses appears housing a large number of feline looking shapes. Locals suggest the shapes resemble a feline shaped au-pair which seems to be breast feeding a number of them.

It is tempting to jump to conclusions as to why they are all there, and to which period in history they belong to. Archaeologists have been called upon, to prove if the story is actually real. These findings will be open to the public, for a short period of time. It is suggested to be discrete while visiting the site, due to the possibility of the pieces being of great value to the community.

Bronx Blue Bedroom Project (BBBP) is an artist-run project located in the bedroom of the artist Blanka Amezkua in Mott Haven, South Bronx. Artists have the opportunity to participate in BBBP for the duration of one month. Artists are asked to commit to offering a workshop to the local community and by preparing a dinner to be shared with other artists and individuals interested in the arts, during their show.
