Ana Mendieta: Experimental and Interactive Films
A new show at Galerie Lelong will feature the film works of Cuban-born ecofeminist artist Ana Mendieta. Mendieta is well known for performance art rooted in the body and landscape, most notably her Silueta series, where she impressed feminine silhouettes in natural elements such as mud, sand, and grass. She died in 1985 under suspicious circumstances, when she fell from the 34th floor of her Greenwich village apartment after a loud argument with husband and sculptor Carl Andre. This exhibition at Galerie Lelong will feature 9 never before seen films and expose Mendieta’s talent for filmmaking. The reception is Friday February 5th from 6 to 8pm.
