Carrie Mae Weems

Expand

From the outset, Carrie Mae Weems has dedicated herself to re-framing the identity of the African-American community and that of women, to exploring the mechanisms behind power, who wields it and over whom it is wielded, as well as to questioning institutional narratives surrounding history. Her works, although focused on photography, exceed the limits of the medium and range from performance to videos and installations—to cite just a few—and they are imbued by a sense of struggle against injustice and violence in the hope of making this a better world.

The exhibition Carrie Mae Weems: “A Great Turn in the Possible” makes a chronological and thematic tour through her series, some of which will be on display at Foto Colectania, including Kitchen Table Series (1990) and And 22 Million Very Tired and Very Angry People (1991).  In addition, on this occasion, the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) will host Weems’ installation Lincoln, Lonnie, and Me (2012) as part of the event.
