| Summary : | An exhibition that dismantles the prejudices against ‘feminine art’. The exhibition – whose title is taken from a book by Marguerite Duras – highlights the work of 12 female artists nourished by a creative process that tends to tie artistic development to personal experience. The chapters of the exhibition open the comprehension and the gaze one can have on female art. And although there are sometimes feminist works, it is not in the traditional stereotype and combative way or as a revendication, but rather in a more sensitive way. The purpose is to reveal the link that unites art and life in all its complexity and richness. The key question “how does art allow to connect our body and our inner world” permits to dismantle the prejudices against “feminine art” as it transcends a gendered approach and doesn’t imprison the creation of women artists. – Foreword : Delphine Houba, Alderwoman of Culture – Davide Zachinelli, Director of Palazzo Magnani Foundation & Pascale Salesse, Director of CENTRALE – Interview with the curators Marina Dacci & Carine Fol by Alice Ciresola – Carte blanche to all the artists that presents their research for this exhibition – Photos of the installations of the artists in CENTRALE |
