Femme F(r)iction
Academy Mansion, NYC
dates 11.05.2023 – 19.05.2023
Zuecca Projects is a proud partner and co-curator of the exhibition “Femme F(r)iction“, organized by C1760 in NYC, at the historic Academy Mansion, celebrating female artists of the last 100 years. Developed in four sections, the exhibition brings together renowned luminaries alongside emerging talents through the showcase of their works within the wider contexts of identity, power, sexuality and solidarity.
Femme F(r)iction unites a group of 50 female artists of different generations and backgrounds presenting over 70 paintings, sculptures, design pieces, installations and drawings. Many of the works explore philosophical and spiritual themes, such as infinity, eternity and the transience of life, encouraging reflection and contemplation. Another common theme is the exploration of nature, the environment and the cosmos. Many of the artists draw inspiration from natural phenomena – such as light, space and organic forms – and use their art as a means to explore the relationship between humanity and the natural world.
