Experience the exhibition by Eleanor Antin through the lens of the curator and director Bettina Steinbrügge.
Biography:
For more than fifty years, Eleanor Antin (1935, New York) has been a distinctive voice in American contemporary art, notably for the connections she has built between conceptual art and feminist movements, between the art scenes of New York and California, and between art, literature, and performance. This exhibition is the first retrospective of the artist in twenty-five years and the first ever presented in Europe. Spread over two floors of the museum, it brings together a large number of the artist's most important works, from her early conceptual projects to her recent photographic series. It includes works she created in the 1970s and 1980s examining multiple identities through fictional characters that she embodied, and her films and installations of the 1990s recognizing different historical moments, including Jewish history, connected to her personal roots. The exhibition and its accompanying publication highlight the importance of Antin's work to younger generations of artists as well as her major contribution to emancipating the body politic and questioning artistic and social gender norms. 'I'm a passionate feminist and a feminist artist, but I am also a conceptual artist, a performance artist, a video artist,' says Antin. 'Remember, those were the days when we were inventing the new world of art, liberating it from the standard painting-and-sculpture designations. And feminist artists were on the front lines.'
