For her first solo exhibition in the United States, Spanish artist
Dora García (b. Valladolid, 1965) focuses on her work of the recent years to
open new platforms of analysis, reflection and visibility. Through a practice that prioritizes the use of performance in a
participative manner, García will transform the Lois Foster Gallery into a
living platform to investigate the relationship between audience, architecture
and artistic work.
Love with Obstacles includes both newly
commissioned works and existing projects, and also features drawings, films,
intervened documents and letters that will be activated through performances
and readings to articulate a collective space where dialogue is central. Two
newly commissioned works will be premiered at the Rose Art Museum: the film
Love with Obstacles (trailer here), focusing on the legacy of the extraordinary
author, feminist, October revolutionary, political exile and diplomat,
Alexandra Kollontai (St. Petersburg,1872– Moscow, 1952) who advocated for the sexual
emancipation of women and radical equality; The Labyrinth of Female Freedom, a
performance where female poetics and politics meet; and a new production of
García's series Golden Sentences: the sentence "She has many names"
opens the exhibition.
Love with Obstacles also brings together for the first time rarely
seen documents from Brandeis University Special Collections that the artist has
personally selected and classified, highlighting the institution´s unique legacy of committed
work to social justice and in the struggle for human rights.
