Nancy Spero “Codex Artaud XVII” 1972
|
Nancy Spero (Cleveland, Ohio, 1926) is one of the pioneers of feminist art and was a key figure on the dissident New York scene of the 1960s and 70s.
Nancy Spero. Dissidances is the first major retrospective of this artist’s work to be mounted in both Europe and the United States. The show brings together works that extend from her beginnings as a student at the Art Institute of Chicago, never before exhibited, to her recent presentation at the 2007 Venice Biennale.
The title of the exhibition, taken from the text by Hélène Cixous for the catalogue, suggests a potential reading which subsumes two basic aspects of the artist’s work: its critical, non-conformist nature in terms of the politico-artistic situation she has lived through during her career and the importance of movement and of the body as vehicles for articulating her discourse.
Organized chronologically, the exhibition presents her work as a unitary project in which past and present become blurred, as in the ancient fables and narratives that have been an inspiration to her. (Taken from www.macba.es)
