Feature | Booth T8
On the occasion of Art Basel 2019 we are showing a project by American artists Helen Mirra and Allyson Strafella in the Feature sector. Fieno (Hay) is a distillation of the exhibition Fieno, fieno, fieno, that took place in the gallery's three spaces along via Stradella in Milan. There, Mirra and Strafella's works were shown separately in the two smaller rooms, and the largest space was filled with hay bales, brought in from a farm outside of the city.
Rather than a tractor, Mirra's instrument is a small tapestry loom, and Strafella's is a typewriter. The two artists worked simultaneously in their individual studios, considering the same subject-object – hay – that is both itself and indexical of of cultivation, of weather, and of the sun.
Unlimited Monica Bonvicini : Breathing, 2017
We are pleased to participate to the Unlimited sector with Monica Bonvicini's Breathing, a hanging sculpture made of leather belts moving through the space, loudly sweeping across and hitting the floor. The screeching and metallic noises of the belts crushing on the surface are accompanied by the industrial sound created by the pneumatic pistons that keep the installation in motion. The resulting movements are precisely programmed into a choreography reminiscent of a dance or a forced and repetitive mantra.
Breathing is the title of the performative sculpture, frightening and meditative at once; the moving object, in the shape of a witch's broom or an oversized whip, refers to contemporary feminist politics and the presence of powerful female figures.
