From representation to erasure

talk Saturday 28 Nov H 10:00 online Duration
1h

with Maria Nadotti

When we talk about the representation of bodies in visual arts, those bodies almost always belong to women. Why is the artistic body feminine? 
While analysing the lives and works of different artists - Frida Kahlo, Käthe Kollwitz, Louise Bourgeois, Ceija Stojka, Mona Hatoum, and many others - critic and scholar Maria Nadotti tells the story of bodies who have tried to define themselves.
