“The Body” is an exhibition of drawings, photographs and video works documenting the performance work of acclaimed Guatemalan artist Regina José Galindo. A poet as well as a performance artist Galindo uses the body as a starting point to explore the ethical implications of social violence and injustice associated with gender and racial discrimination. Galindo’s work often references her body’s relationship to the landscape of Guatemala as it interrogates the human rights abuses arising from endemic inequalities that define all contemporary societies.
Curated by Noah Khoshbin, the exhibition will present 15 video works and works on paper exhibited publicly for the first time.
“The Body” will be on view at the Watermill Center through October 15th, 2023.
Exhibition support provided by the Prometeo Gallery Ida Pisani, Milan and Proyectos Ultravioleta Guatemala City.
