Material subversions and trans-Mediterranean dialogues - conference
This presentation will show how the cultural and material specificity of abstract painting was used by artists associated with Supports/Surfaces to escape more dominant Northern European and American traditions. Can this artistic approach, which consists of questioning abstraction through a politicized practice based on the subversion of conventions and materiality, be considered linked to the work of other artists working simultaneously and to similar purposes in Italy and North Africa? We will address questions that arise in these related contexts, in terms of feminism and post-colonization, which enrich our understanding of Supports/Surfaces, and more generally the histories of abstract painting in Europe during this period. This lecture will be held in English.
