elles@centrepompidou


This is an amazing exhibition. Perhaps too much to take in in one go, but worth a revisit in that case. Artists like Marina Abramovic, Valie Export, Ana Mendieta, Louise Bourgeois, and many others are in the exhibition. I realized just now as I went through the female artists in my head that they are lacking black female artists, African, African-American, African-French, whatever, there is a dirth of them and someone should add some to the collection of the musee national d'art modern.
