Karen Lamassonne: La mujer de 50 pies. Memorias de Sala ASAB

Abstract

The ASAB Faculty of Arts, of the Francisco José de Caldas District University, had the opportunity to share with the capital's public part of the work by artist Karen Lamassonne: The 50-Foot Woman, Film, Video, and the Cali Group, curated by Andrés Matute, as part of the ASAB Gallery program. We toured the exhibition, speaking with the artist and learning about her references and perspective. It was fascinating that young artists, from a generation native to social media and constantly exposed to issues of self-representation, found clues and identified with works created thirty or forty years ago in a pre-network era. Without a doubt, the themes addressed in Lamassonne's work were and are relevant due to their subtle content and transgressive acuity. The 50-Foot Woman. Exhibited from September to November 2019 at the ASAB Gallery, thanks to the Visual and Plastic Arts Curriculum Project. ASAB Exhibition Hall (Cra. 13 # 14-69, Bogotá).
