黑料不打烊

Praz-Delavallade is pleased to announce the second solo show devoted to LA-based artist Andrea Bowers. An Eloquent Woman is an exhibition that circles around the relationship of three women: a revolutionary, a historian and an artist. Emma Goldman was a radical feminist and anarchist revolutionary who in the early 1900鈥檚 became known for her political activism, writing and speeches. She was a proponent of workers鈥� rights, women鈥檚 rights, prisoners鈥� rights, free love and anti-conscription. This exhibition uses as its inspiration a series of passionate love letters written by Goldman 100 years ago, from 1908 to 1917, to her lover at the time, Ben Reitman, who was 10 years her junior. The sum of the works in the exhibition existentially investigate the pain and struggles in trying to live out one鈥檚 political ideals in one鈥檚 personal life. Bowers questions how one reconciles her political beliefs in the intimacy of private life and looks toward Emma Goldman and her archivist, Candace Falk, as role models. The exhibition contains a new single-channel video, a series of drawings, workers鈥� rights protest posters and a sculpture based on a social intervention.
