Contemporary art publications about Ana Mendieta

The British institution reclaims the legacy of the Cuban artist through an exhibition that examines the intersection of her lived experience, nature, and identity, utilizing a museographical approach that transcends mere documentation to bridge ephemeral actions, moving-image works, and sculpture.

The Marian Goodman Gallery in New York is presenting its inaugural exhibition Ana Mendieta Back to the Source. Thoughtfully and beautifully installed, the exhibition presents a significant body of work from 1972 to 1985 that includes photographs, the installation Ñañigo Burial, designs on leaves, drawings of hands and female figures on paper with ink, graphite and wash, ten films, and two vitrines with diverse personal items.
