Ana Mendieta - Profile

Although she died tragically in 1985 at the age of 36, Ana Mendieta's exploration of the female body and its social and political implications through performances, sculptures, and "actions" has had a lasting impact on contemporary art. Beginning with performance-based works of the early 1970s, the exhibition will follow the artist's development, examining her well known Silueta series made in Iowa and Mexico (1973-1980), as well as sculptures and installations of the early 1980s fashioned from twigs, bark, leaves, sand, and mud. Also on view will be the artist's Rupestrian (inscribed on rock or composed of rock) series, landscape interventions made in Cuba in 1981, and documentation of earthworks executed in a variety of locations in the early 1980s. The nearly 100 works will be drawn from numerous public and private collections in the United States, Europe and Latin America, including photographs, drawings, sculptures, video, film, and sequenced slide projections that document performance works and time-based actions in nature.
