Overview
Experience the powerful work of Ana Mendieta, whose legacy changed the course of contemporary art
This major exhibition dedicated to Ana Mendieta presents many of her iconic works alongside newly remastered films, early paintings, and late sculptural pieces, many of which have never been seen in the UK before. The show will continue outside the gallery walls, embracing Mendieta’s deep relationship with the natural world.
Mendieta is best known for her Silueta series, exploring the presence and absence of the human body using a number of natural materials, including fire, water, and flowers. These ephemeral works were recorded as photographs and films.
Active in the 1970s and early ’80s, the Cuban-born American artist posed profound questions throughout her work around displacement and identity, which remain highly relevant today.
This monograph published to coincide with the first in-depth UK show of her work in over ten years, shines a light on Mendieta’s trailblazing practice, reinforcing her standing as one of the most important artists of the 20th century.
