The Society for Contemporary Art presents Regina José Galindo
Regina José Galindo (1974) is a visual artist and poet, whose main medium is performance. Galindo lives and works in Guatemala, using its own context as a starting point to explore and accuse the ethical implication of social violence and injustices related to gender and racial discrimination, as well as human rights abuses arising from the endemic inequalities in power relations of contemporary socialites. Galindo is, in Loris Romano's words, "an artist who pushes herself beyond her own limits, through performances which are radical, unsettling and ethically discomfiting."
Galindo received the Golden Lion for Best Young Artist in the 51st Biennial of Venice (2005) for her work “¿Quién puede borrar las huellas” and “Himenoplastia", two crucial pieces of her oeuvre, which critique Guatemalan violence that comes from misconceptions of morality as from gender violence, while she demands the restitution of the memory and humanity of the victims. In 2011, she was awarded the Prince Claus Award from the Netherlands for her ability to transform injustice and outrage into powerful public acts that demand a response.
She has also participated in the 49th, 53rd, and 54th Venice Biennials; Documenta 14 in Athens and Kassel; the 9th International Biennial of Cuenca, the 29th Biennial of Graphic Arts of Ljubljana, the Shanghai Biennial (2016), the Biennial of Pontevedra in 2010, the 17th Biennial of Sydney, the 2nd Biennial of Mosco, the First Triennial of Auckland, the Venice-Istanbul Exhibition, the 1st Biennial of Art and Architecture of the Canarian Islands, the 4th Biennial of Valencia, the 3rd Biennial of Albania, the 2nd Biennial of Prague, and the 3rd Biennial of Lima.
Regina José Galindo (1974) es una artista visual y poeta, quien utiliza como medio principal de trabajo su cuerpo a través de la performance y más recientemente en acciones colectivas.
Galindo vive y trabaja en Guatemala, su país natal, utilizando su propio contexto como punto de partida para explorar y denunciar las implicaciones éticas de la violencia social y las injusticias relacionadas a la discriminación racial y de género, así como los abusos a los derechos humanos provenientes de las desigualdades endémicas en las relaciones de poder de las sociedades contemporáneas. Se ha caracterizado siempre por una vasta producción que busca generar en el pensamiento un punto crítico que señala, denuncia, y compromete a juicio las diferentes acciones de abuso a las cuales se ven sometidos distintos grupos sociales, pero que han sido normalizadas a través de los años y del silencio que ella rompe.
Galindo recibió el premio León de Oro al Mejor Artista Joven en la 51ª Bienal de Venecia (2005) por su trabajo “¿Quién puede borrar las huellas?” e “Himenoplastía”, dos piezas cruciales de su obra que critican la violencia guatemalteca proveniente de conceptos erróneos de la ética y la moral, así como de violencia de género, mientras exige la restitución de la memoria y la humanidad de las víctimas. En 2011 recibió el Premio Príncipe Claus de los Países Bajos por su capacidad para transformar la injusticia y la indignación en actos públicos que exigen respuesta. Recientemente recibió el premio Robert Rauschenberg Award de Foundation for Contemporary Arts.
Galindo ha participado en distintos eventos artísticos como la 49, 53, y 54 Bienales de Venecia; Documenta 14 en Atenas y Kassel, en la 9ª y 15ª Bienal Internacional de Cuenca, la 29ª Bienal de Artes Gráficas de Liubliana, la Bienal de Shanghái (2016), la Bienal de Pontevedra (2010), la 17ª Bienal de Sídney, la 2ª Bienal de Moscú, 1ª Trienal de Auckland, La Exposición Venecia-Estambul, La 1ª Bienal de Arte y Arquitectura de las Islas Canarias, la 4ª Bienal de Valencia, la 3ª Bienal de Albania, la 2ª Bienal de Praga, y la 3ª Bienal de Lima, entre otros.

The Society for Contemporary Art presents Jacqueline Humphries
Переглядів 1,1 тис.Рік тому
By the mid-1980s painting had been declared “dead” several times over. But for the contemporary painter Jacqueline Humphries, the medium became a “rogue practice”; however risky, it has remained her foundation. “Painting can adapt to anything,” she notes. Throughout her career Humphries has thus adapted to-and subverted-painting’s formal and discursive conditions, often with reference to both a...

In her classical drawings and paintings, as well as videos and performances, Evelyn T. Wang (Chinese, b.1981) combines a straightforward and at times confrontational tone with emotional, poetic, and often autobiographical undercurrents. Through her diverse practice, she addresses ostensibly fixed notions of identity, culture, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Переглядів 2,1 тис.2 роки тому
Suzan Frecon (American, born 1941) is known for abstract oil paintings and works on paper that-as she describes her lifelong practice-“speak for themselves.” Made over long stretches of time, her work embodies the durational activity of painting itself and invites the viewer’s sustained attention: these, she says, “are not pictures that you look at. They are paintings that you experience.” In F...

I knew Suzanne Jackson in Los Angeles in 1972 and attended many get togethers of Black Artists at her Gallery 32 in downtown L.A. It was a wonderful space for mounting shows of fellow artists and sharing information. A wondrous artist and I still have a copy of her book of her work with a lovely personal note from her. I am thrilled her work has continued to flourish!❤
lol the only useful thing I learned during my short time as a Girl Scout 50 years ago was tying a square knot. I love that roping and knotting was how this lecture ended. <3
Stunning work!
an amazing painter who deeply meditates on color, space, and form in her own refreshing way. thank you for sharing
Aw. Used to be her - Gretchen’s - assistant… Lovely human… she passed far too soon.

If this is art- give me the opposite’
Outstanding -- loved the wanderings and historical points this artist makes in her speaking: so natural and present. Thank you!
I laughed out loud at Irma's comment: How the coincidence of the post-its of Wilson's depicted binders are echo-repeated in her post-it-prepped book for this presentation...such a hilarious punch line. It sums up her mind so well and illustrates how appropriate she was to be tasked with this project. (Aside from her being a living legend, book design rock star Artist...all that). In any case, bravo to you all for the work in bringing to life this spectacular exhibition catalogue-as-book-object. I have the book in front of me now and I've got to say, it truly is a piece of art unto its own. No-one need any longer bemoan the astronomical(sic) prices of RJ's work, when you can experience so much of it in such a raw, realistic and affordable facsimile such as this. Thanks once again.
💐 p̶r̶o̶m̶o̶s̶m̶
Wonderful to relive this performance! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Hendrik, for illuminating this interesting piece and also to the SCA for making it possible. You are also reminding us why The Art Institute is such an exceptional museum. Looking forward to when we can all be together again in the galleries!
It would have been nice to also see a close up of this piece. Thanks.
