Thinking about Curation: A case-study on making an exhibition
\n\u201cBaya: Woman of Algiers\u201d
\nwith Natasha Boas<\/p>\n
Natasha Boas, Independent curator, writer and scholar and co-professor of \u201cCuration Across the Disciplines\u201d<\/p>\n
Independent curator, writer and scholar and co-professor of “Curation Across the Disciplines” will present her current curatorial work on the Algerian “outsider” woman artist Baya Mahieddine (1931\u20131998) known as Baya.<\/p>\n
This opening lecture offers a foundation to this year\u2019s Big Ideas lectures on curation by exploring a case study in exhibition-making from context, to conception, to scholarship, to presentation. Baya\u2019s works are in the collections of : the Mus\u00e9e de l’Art Brut, Lausanne; the Mus\u00e9e Picasso, Antibes; the Institut du Monde Arabe, Paris; the Musee national des beaux-arts d’Alger; the Musee national de Mali : as well as as many private collections in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East including the renown Fondation Barjeel.<\/p>\n
Woman of Algiers reexamines Baya\u2019s career within a specifically Algerian post-colonial narrative along with Surrealism, contemporary North African art, Feminism, Mahgreb Studies and \u201coutsider\u201d art.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
More info: Baya: Woman of Algiers is the first North American exhibition of works by the self-taught Algerian artist Baya Mahieddine (1931\u20131998).<\/p>\n
Known as Baya, she was born in Bordj el-Kiffan and orphaned at age five. Encouraged by her adoptive French mother to pursue art, she began as an adolescent to paint gouaches and make ceramics. Her work was soon discovered by fabled gallerist Adrien Maeght who, along with Andr\u00e9 Breton, organized an exhibition in Paris in 1947.<\/p>\n
Baya\u2019s colorful depictions of women, rhythmic patterns, and bright palette drew the attention of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, with whom she later collaborated in the renowned Madoura pottery studio in Vallauris.<\/p>\n
Celebrated in both Algeria and France, Baya has yet to gain international recognition. <\/strong><\/p>\n
Woman of Algiers reexamines Baya\u2019s career within Surrealist,” outsider,” and North-African post-colonial art contexts. The exhibition is curated by Natasha Boas and will be accompanied by an illustrated catalogue.<\/p>\n
