Feminist legacies in the MACBA Collection

Week of 8 March

work

Cabello/Carceller (grup d'artistes), febrer 1994, Ya no me importa tu mirada

We celebrate the week of 8 March (International Women’s Day) with a feminist tour of the Collection exhibition. While not specifically focused on the combative position of the different feminisms, they are not only present in the exhibition but represent a new transformative paradigm largely articulated from the most recent artistic practices and their forms of representation. What subjectivities have been called upon and what new ways of life have they left us?

From the 1980s, we find the rebellious languages of Eva Lootz and the subversive aesthetics of Rosemarie Trockel. In the 1990s, we witness the dissident sexualities of Cabello/Carceller, the watchful eyes of Carmen Calvo, the everyday-life seams of Ana Prada and the bodily remains of Eulàlia Valldosera. As we enter the 2000s, Susy Gómez’s works revisit and put into question the emotional universe of affections, while Mireia Sallarès focuses on the experience of female pleasure. In 2020, Adriana Guiteras offers a contemporary reinterpretation of bodily desire and Hac Vinent shares a non-normative sensoriality. These and other horizons await you in the MACBA Collection.
