ORLAN is one of the world’s most important figures in the avant-garde of the second half of the twentieth century and the twenty-first century, known for his works and performances with a strong social critique. The exhibition will be open from November 22, 2023 to February 11, 2024.

The exhibition, which will be held at the Government Exhibition Hall, will showcase some of the themes and formats that the renowned French artist has worked on throughout her career. Highlights of her early works will be on display, such as ORLAN accouchant…. de elle me aime, videos of the most iconic performances that have positioned him as one of the most controversial and vindictive artists of his generation, such as Le baiser de la artiste, and the most recent series he has produced, Women who cry are angry, a series of hybridizations based on Pablo Picasso’s paintings depicting Dora Maar crying, a special “tribute” by Orlan to the Spanish artist in the year that marks the 50th anniversary of his death.

INVITATION TO THE OPENING

The International Photography Biennial Fotonoviembre, organized by the Tenerife Island Photography Center, opens its 17th edition with a varied program that includes exhibitions, workshops, screenings, round tables and performances. The central exhibition, ¿Cuánto dura un eco?, curated by Violeta Janeiro Alfageme, exhibits works by artists such as Pilar Aymerich and Colita. This exhibition focuses on the stories and ghosts of a generation of artists who captured the feminist movement of the 1970s, influencing the construction of the “apprenticeship of freedom” that contributed to the end of Franco’s dictatorship. From 17.11.2023 to 24.03.2023 at the Centro De Fotografía Isla de Tenerife.

RocioSantaCruz Gallery participates in this edition of the Loop Festival with the work “Ombra”, by Oriol Vilapuig. This single-channel video, framed within the exhibition “Teoria dels cossos”, continues with the conceptual and artistic approach of Vilapuig’s last work: How are bodies articulated in today’s societies? What discourses and problems does the body as a container bring with it?

The exhibition “Teoria dels cossos” can be enjoyed until 25.11.2023 at RocioSantaCruz Gallery.
