The exhibition “ORLAN: This is my story… of art” continues its itinerary in A Coruña after its success at the PHotoEspaña 2023 Festival (Madrid). The exhibition presents ORLAN’s photographic practice from a feminist perspective, reflecting on the emancipation of women in the field of visual arts. Focusing on key figures such as Dora Maar, ORLAN, a pioneer and key figure in contemporary art, reinterprets the history of art through her own body as both container and content.

The exhibition can be enjoyed at the Palexco Exhibition Hall (A Coruña) from Saturday, December 16 at 12h.
Exhibition organized by RocioSantaCruz Gallery, PHotoESPAÑA and Ceyson Bénétière Gallery.
Curated by Alain Quemin.

RocioSantaCruz is pleased to announce its participation in the 43rd edition of ARCOmadrid, to be held from March 6 to 10. RocioSantaCruz’s proposal is located at the crossroads of 21st century art, highlighting a feminist and decolonial perspective to overcome the separation between life and art. The gallery’s stand in the next edition, based on the artists represented, addresses identity in relation to context, exploring racist, patriarchal and colonial structures present in contemporary culture.

The French artist Jean Denant, represented by the gallery RocioSantaCru, presents the project À Voix Basse in the Regional Natural Park of Haut Languedoc. This work of art, commissioned by the Fondation de France, is based on the premise of making known the site of Mates basses, testimony to a landscape architectural heritage linked to popular agricultural life. To this end, Denant proposes contemporary art in the least expected place, by hosting a contemporary work that, by its presence, reveals the multiple views that the landscape offers. À Voix basse, 300 cm x 685 cm, is crossed by a seemingly abstract form. Inspired by cartography, it continues the artistic approach of Jean Denant’s work, based on the world map or the Mediterranean as a field of reflection.
