h.arta "Everyday Fragments"
Ludlow 38 / The Goethe-Institut New York
This event has ended.
"Everyday Fragments” is the first solo U.S. exhibition by the Timisoara-based collective h.arta group (Maria Crista, Anca Gyemant and Rodica Tache). Their daring New York project, supported by the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York, explores issues such as „What does it mean to be a feminist in the context of global capitalism?” Using mixed artistic means (texts, drawings, photography, video and objects) the exhibition reflects on the possibility to affirm a multi-faceted feminist position in collaborative art by connecting theory to everyday practices. „Everyday Fragments” is based on two previous projects by h.arta group ("The Most Beautiful Day of My Life” & "Inspired by Life”) and on a new work called "Parallel Readings” (2011), produced in collaboration with Montreal-based writer Jen Kennedy and New York-based artist Liz Linden (Contemporary Feminism Collective). This new work is the result of an ongoing e-mail exchange of images, articles and advertisements taken from mainstream women's magazines in Romania and North America.
