Ana Mendieta is among the most important and influential artists of our era. She was born in 1948 in Cuba, and was sent by her parents at the age of twelve, together with her sister, to be raised in the United States. She died in New York in 1985, at the age of thirty-six. Her pioneering work has been acknowledged by large retrospectives in the United States and Europe, and is represented in the collecti... - Exposition
An Artificial Wilderness: The Landscape in Contemporary Photography
Man’s impact on the natural landscape takes the form of construction, destruction and intervention in the photographic imagery of An Artificial Wilderness. The title borrows a phrase from the W. H. Auden poem The Shield of Achilles (1952), referring to modern society’s passive stance toward the decline of human values, and its disregard for the physical world. Exemplifying this idea at its most extreme, Edward Burtynsky captures the world’s largest accumulation of discarded rubber tires. Lewis Baltz confronts an uncommon, mundane subject—an urban parking lot—and finds beauty. Rosemary Laing documents a seamlessly laid, floral wall-to-wall carpet in a eucalyptus forest to symbolize the domestication of the natural environment. In diverse works dating from the 1960s to the present, and feat... - Exposition
Une chambre à soi - Galerie Christophe Gaillard
"Monsieur, une femme qui compose est semblable à un chien qui marche sur ses pattes de derrière. Ce qu'il fait n'est pas bien fait, mais vous êtes surpris de le voir faire."
Une chambre à soi. Virginia Woolf
— Je ne vois pas ce que tu veux dire.
— Tu ne vois pas ce que je veux dire ? Et bien il faut que ce soit une pratique régulière. C'est ce que je cherche...
— Tu es drôle toi... Des ?lles, et encore d'autres ?lles... Tu en connais beaucoup toi qui se photographient?... Je ré?échis... Dans l'esprit de Claude Cahun?
— Non pas forcément mais c'est ce qui vient tout de suite à l'idée: Claude Cahun, La Castiglione, Madame Yevonde... (1) Celles qui osent regarder l... - Exposition
DONNA: FEMINIST AVANT-GARDE OF THE 1970s
Since its inception in 2004 the Sammlung Verbund focuses on the feminist art movement of the 1970s as one of the main areas of collecting. In keeping with its maxim, "Depth before Breadth", the fruits of this particular focus are now for the first time presented in Italy. The Galleria nazionale d'arte moderna in Rome shows an exhibition entitled DONNA: FEMINIST AVANT-GARDE OF THE 1970s from Sammlung Verbund, Vienna.
The director of the collection, Gabriele Schor, has taken the initiative and deliberately designated the feminist art movement of the 1970s as Feminist Avant-Garde, in order to emphasise its trailblazing role, as it is, like no other art movement in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, a decisive force in shaping contemporary art production. The Feminist Avant-Garde is still an open field and ... - Exposition
Che cosa sono le nuvole? Artworks from the Enea Righi Collection
The Museion venue welcomes the Righi Collection, one of the most significant private collections of contemporary art, which to date has only been exhibited at the Collection Lambert in Avignon, France. The arrival of the collection represents an important exhibition opportunity for Museion, thanks to a ten year deposit of works in the museum.
The presentation of a selection of works from the Righi Collection aims to elicit reflections on the encounter between the public dimension and the intimate sphere of a private collection. The artists present in both collections, including Roni Horn (NY, 1955), Jana Sterback (Prague, 1955), Robert Barry (NY, 1936), Alighiero Boetti (Turin 1940 – Rome 1994) and Miroslaw Balka (Warsaw, 1958) represent the numerous convergences of vision between the museum and the private coll... - Exposition
TEA (Tenerife Espacio de las Artes)
TEA (Tenerife Space for The Arts) shows the exhibition Mexico Expected/Unexpected, curated from works in the Isabel and Agustin Coppel Collection (CIAC).
The exhibition was curated by Monica Amor, with Carlos Basualdo as her main advisor. Basualdo is the curator of Topological Gardens the Bruce Nauman exhibition at the USA Pavilion for the 53rd. Venice Biennial.
The CIAC is one of the most important modern and contemporary art collections in Mexico, and it includes artworks by some major Mexican and international artists.
The curatorial work for this exhibition was based on the inclusive nature of the CIAC collection, regarding the nationality of the artists, which allowed for an exploration of the concept of Mexican culture as it is represented in art and the way in which other proposals—not originated in... - Exposition
Female Trouble The camera as mirror and stage of female projection
Since the invention of photography more than 170 years ago it has been largely women who have used this technical medium to project themselves through role playing and masquerading. As well as the experimental urge to constantly recreate ones ego, the camera has also served as a means of calling into question clichés of female representation. Playing with the image of the eternally feminine was and remains a discourse with gender identity, its social and political definitions and reaching beyond them.
The exhibition focuses on contemporary women artists such as Cindy Sherman, Sarah Lucas, Monica Bonvicini and Pipilotti Rist, who with the aid of photography and video art investigate the female image. The artists explore the question of what image patterns the media age employs for portraying femininity and how t...
