MIRAGES VI

 

 

Louise Bourgeois (25/12/11–31/5/10) – Zaha Hadid (31/10/50- )

If the great artist was living, today she would have closed 104. She passed away in 2010, full of days, having completed a circle of life and work.  she is the first artist, with which we will inaugurate our new column “Traces” that will be published once a month, as a tribute to artists, living or dead, who have left their trace in contemporary art. What connects these two women coming from two different spaces (Art-Architecture) and worlds (East-West)? Except that they are women, and this Christmas are dedicated to the hard working women: in Art, Architecture, Photography and Life. They fought a masculine status quo and each one was imposed on her workspace, through hard work and constant struggle… We will discover today  Zaha’s Hadid  Design Side, then her architecture one, that everyone better knows, after having closed 10 years since she was honored with the Nobel Architecture (Pritzker Prize 2004), with moments and memories that unite us with the important Louise Bourgeois, to known and unknown aspects of her life, we will see in the “Traces”.

Merry Christmas!
