Monica Bonvicini

Info: Galerie Gisela Capitain is pleased to announce the solo exhibition & Liberation by Monica Bonvicini. The exhibition gathers some of Bonvicinis works, from 2009 until now, each one loaded with her unique energy and wit. Known for her daring exploration of space, power, and identity, Monica Bonvicini stands as an important figure in the contemporary art landscape. With a career spanning over three decades, Bonvicini’s work embodies a profound dialogue between architecture, gender, and social constructs. Her installations, sculptures, and conceptual pieces serve as powerful reflections on the intersections of politics, sexuality, and human experience. Bonvicini!s oeuvre is characterized by its fearless engagement with materials, often incorporating industrial elements to craft environments that provoke both visceral and intellectual responses. She navigates the boundaries between the public and private spheres, revealing the latent tensions that lie beneath the surface of our built environments. The main focus of & Liberation is a curated selection of works on paper displaying Bonvicinis interest and conceptual approach towards language and her exploration of conventions and counter-acts. Location: St. Apern Str. 26, 50667 Köln.

Location: Albertusstr. 9–11, 50667 Köln.
