Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Singing Leaf is the first solo exhibition at the Marlborough Gallery of the transdisciplinary artist Laura Anderson Barbata (b. Mexico, immigrated to the USA). Occupying two floors of the exhibition highlights nearly three decades of the artistœs rich and varied output across time and place. Works on view include photography, drawings, collages, textiles, video, installation, and sculpture, as well as mixed-media documentation from a selection of social projects initiated with numerous collaborators. Since the early-1990s, Laura Anderson Barbara has initiated art-centered projects in the United States, the Venezuelan Amazon, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, and Norway which emphasize reciprocity, shared knowledge, and decolonial thinking. Through anchoring objects, Singing Leaf gathers many traditions, voices, and communities that are empowered by the artistœs expansive definitions of authorship and collaboration. The exhibition includes a selection of works on paper (reminiscent of the type of the Mexican "papel picado") and zines that respond to and reflect upon the artist's project "The Repatriation of Julia Pastranaʺ. Started in 2005, the anthropological and humanitarian project traces the 2013 removal and repatriation to her homeland of Sinaloa, Mexico of the body of Julia Pastrana (Sinaloa 1834-1860), a 19th century woman exhibited in life and after death as The Ugliest Woman in the World,ʺ from a storage facility in Osloœs Schreiner Collection. Unlike her other collaborations, the artist herself does not consider The Repatriation of Julia Pastranaʺ a work of art. This was an additive projects -or parts of the creative impulse that drove [the artist] to embark on her decade-long quest. They document and commemorate the events, yet they are subordinate to the essential altruistic and deeply political implications of the action itself.ʺ This catalogue is published on the occasion of the exhibition, Laura Anderson Barbata: Singing Leaf, the transdisciplinary Mexican artist’s first solo exhibition with Marlborough Gallery. The fully illustrated publication features over seventy color plates and new essays by Edward J. Sullivan, the Helen Gould Shepard Professor of Art History at New York University, and Madeline Murphy Turner, Ph.D., Emily Rauh Pulitzer Curatorial Fellow in Contemporary Drawings, Harvard Art Museums |
