About the exhibition

Curated by Andrea Lissoni, the exhibition brings together – with both historic and recent works – ten installations and ten single-channel videos, among which a new video especially conceived for HangarBicocca. Considered as a major figure for the history and theory of performance, she became known during the 1960s and 1970s through her pioneering performances and videos. Her work gives a unique reinterpretation of the relationship between art and narrative forms, alongside her use of video, sculpture and performance, the artist includes language as a powerful source of imaginary.
