IVAM compiles works by Annette Messager

In the exhibition “Annette Messager”. Púdico – Público’ at the Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno (IVAM) it is possible to see how Messager, who belongs to a generation of artists who took on the requirement to create different languages to identify ourselves, language used on the fringes of the patriarchy, uses daily objects which have traditionally been considered to hold little value, to transform their uses and our associated feelings, creating ensembles, installations or photographs in which items which are traditionally associated with feminine objects, such as wool, material, rope or teddy bears can be combined with other very different objects.
