Exhibition
“Fo(u)r Women Claiming Space”
The exhibition "Fo(u)r Women Claiming Space" brings together the work of the expatriates Kiri Megan, Marguerite Harris, Brittney Kalogeros and Vicki Corley. Although they did not know each other before this exhibition project, they have a lot in common.
As women, artists and foreigners, their triple identity pushes them to rethink what art means to them: a means of expression, a way to find roots in a new space, a form for navigating life far from home, or simply for entertainment. Their different backgrounds, practices and aesthetics come together in this exhibition where they claim space in a dynamic and assertive way.
Far from objectifying women’s bodies, Kiri Megan paints them with fluid, colorful lines, aiming at self-exploration while adopting a minimalist style.
With her spherical structures made of welded metal or strips of film, Marguerite Harris allows herself to explore artistic languages outside the established norm for women.
Brittney Kalogeros's ideas blend reality and imagination; she wishes to highlight a more "magical" and abstract way of exploring art as a woman.
Vicki Corley's bright colors and wild strokes are an explosion of energy. Her joyful and expressive paintings, which draw on abstraction (but not always), exude overflowing creativity.
Not only do the four artists share an interest in a vibrant treatment of space, but they also claim a space of their own as women artists and position themselves on the art scene. Can you feel the energy in the room?
