Past gallery exhibitions exhibition
Overview
Installation view, Teresa Margolles: Ya Basta hijos de puta, PAC Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea, Milan, Italy, 2018
With a minimalist yet impactful and almost overbearing style on a conceptual level, Margolles' 14 installations on view at PAC explore the uncomfortable themes of death, social injustice, gender hatred, marginality and corruption generating a constant tension between horror and beauty.
Promoted by the Municipality of Milan - Culture and produced by PAC with Silvana Editoriale, the exhibition is part of the calendar of Art Week, the Milanese week dedicated to contemporary art, on the occasion of which the artist presents a tribute performance to Karla, a transgender prostitute murdered in Ciudad Juárez (Mexico) in 2016. A powerful gesture, it will leave an open wound on the walls of the PAC and will feature Sonja Victoria Vera Bohórquez, a transgender woman prostitute in Zurich.
Curator: Diego Sileo
