Project 9
Invisibilities - Ana Huerta
July 13th - August 2nd 2019, Tangent Projects gallery.
Invisibilities by Ana Huerta - a reflection of the artist’s experiences as a woman.
“Feminism: An attitude that does not understand prejudices, impositions or insecurities motivated by ones gender.
I began my education in apparent equality between family, friends and companions. However, my verbs have since taken on new meaning, infiltrated by obligations and doubts; the nouns accompanied by possessive determiners. The adjectives seldom positive. An education contorted.
I live in a modern society, technologically advanced, diverse, liberated. Logic shows me no differences, rationally I am your equal. But is this true, could this be our reality?
The construction of a woman, like building a work of art, requires strength, sanity and resilience. Broken and reconstructed, time after time. Moulded into a system designed for someone else. A system where stereotypes still prevail.
Invisibilities focuses on the destructive situations experienced every single day. It depicts the fragility that we all feel and the strength needed to build a new feminist future.”
Invisibilities by Ana Huerta is a continuation of the exhibition project Prototypes for a Feminist Future, a group exhibition curated by Tsering Frykman-Glen for Tangent Projects in 2019. The exhibition sought to stimulate a dialogue regarding the potential of non-gendered structures and explore how to create an equitable microstructure, this would go on to develop the ideological foundation for the Tangent Projects independent artspace.
