Alma Matrix (14 May-1 August – Fundació Antoni Tàpies)
The exhibition Alma Matrix. Bracha L. Ettinger and Ria Verhaeghe shows how Ettinger and Verhaeghe use images of anonymous persons found in newspapers and archival materials, which they articulate through methods of compilation and techniques of copying, deleting, tracing and painting.
As an artist and a psychoanalyst, Ettinger integrates both practices in her work and has developed a peculiar approach to applied psychoanalysis, halfway between artistic and curative practice. Verhaeghe collects, combines and binds her images with the use of computers, or with the type of soft, protecting materials, such as latex or wadding, found in her sculptures.
