Pushing Beyond Limits. At the Merz Foundation, leading contemporary women artists reflect on the theme

The Fondazione Merz is hosting the exhibition Push the Limits, curated by Claudia Gioia and Beatrice Merz, from March 19 to September 20, 2020.

Already the title implies the exhibition’s intention: to investigate the ability of art to constantly place itself at the limit in order to shift the axis of thought, perception and discourse, introducing new elements and going in search of a language capable of narrating the present.

The exhibition itinerary is proposed as a continuous discourse, a succession of tears, overlaps, questioning of already known and seemingly outdated realities that instead return, and of unknown realities that should be analyzed.

In the exhibition will be works by Rosa Barba, Sophie Calle, Katharina Grosse, Shilpa Gupta, Mona Hatoum, Jenny Holzer, Emily Jacir Bouchra Khalili, Barbara Kruger, Cinthia Marcelle, Shirin Neshat, Maria Papadimitriou, Pamela Rosenkranz, Chiharu Shiota, Fiona Tan, Carrie Mae Weems, and Sue Williamson: some of the most significant female voices in contemporary art in the international arena who through their works have declined the idea of limit and overcoming. Their art has always related to their context.

Large-scale installations also help synthesize the expressive urgency of the present; sounds, words, textural and chromatic textures that immerse visitors in different spheres, from the political to the symbolic, from the philosophical to the poetic.
