Leonor Antunes: the homemaker and her domain, part III

In line with artist Leonor Antunes’s ongoing examination of female creators of the 20th century, her exhibition “the homemaker and her domain, part III” looks at the life and work of Léna Meyer-Berner during her residency in Mexico, from 1939—1947. An artist and textile designer involved in the graphic studio Taller de Gráfica Popular, Meyer-Berner was best known for her use of art and design in the fight against fascism and other social causes throughout her time in Mexico. For Antunes’s debut exhibition at kurimanzutto, the artist has created a sculptural installation that employs materials that are the result of a deep exploration of the work of Meyer-Berner (like bronze, bamboo, wood, and jute fabrications), creating between viewers and the exhibition space a choreographed displacement.
