"What to do with the art works of a late artist, how to treat the remains of our ancestors, and how to deal with trauma in loss"
Since several years artist Nina Boas searches for ways to tell autobiographical stories through visual performances. In ‘My Mothers Paintings' the context of the white cube becomes the stage for her performance that incorporate the paintings of her mother as subject, prop and art work.
Women are the protagonists in the paintings of Françoise Magrangeas (1949 - 2011). They are feminine, sensual, humorous and independent; a confident woman without complexes, placed in a mise-en-scene.
