Carrie Mae Weems is one of the most influential contemporary artists in the United States, whose aesthetic and political impact extends far beyond the art world.
The catalogue's focus is on the long history of violence against people of color, women, and the socially disadvantaged, which Weems counters with an equally long history of resistance. Body, beauty, ritual, magic, and spirituality, the public and private, the political and poetic are of central importance here. In this way she uncovers other possible courses of history – and thus also of the future.
Featuring extensive photographic projects, videos, objects, and installations, the exhibition catalogue offers a multi-layered look at Weems’ artistic practice, which has been developing for more than thirty-five years.
Carrie Mae Weems, con su obra, ha querido reformular la identidad de la comunidad afroamericana y la de las mujeres, a explorar los mecanismos que se esconden tras el poder, quién lo ejerce y sobre quién se ejerce, así como a cuestionar las narrativas institucionales en torno a la historia.
