Offering a comprehensive exploration of Vicuña’s multifaceted artistic journey comprising over 200 works of paintings, drawings, screenprints, collages, textiles, videos, photographs, installations, poetry, artist books, and performances.
Readers can immerse themselves in her creative wealth with her influence extending beyond artistic movements, embodying decolonization and ecofeminist ideals.
Curated by Miguel A. López, the book not only delves into Vicuña’s art, but also includes essays by prominent scholars and a conversation between Vicuña, Marisol de la Cadena, and Camila Marambio.
On the occasion of the exhibition Cecilia Vicuña: Dreaming Water, Malba publishes – in collaboration with the National Museum of Fine Arts in Santiago de Chile and the Pinacoteca de São Paulo – the most comprehensive monographic book dedicated to Cecilia Vicuña’s work to date.
It features a main text by curator and editor Miguel A. López in epistolary format – a letter addressed to the artist – as well as new essays by Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Catherine de Zegher, and José de Nordenflycht. It includes two texts by Vicuña on her drawings from the “Palabrarmas” project and the activism of the group Artists for Democracy, as well as a conversation between Vicuña, Marisol de la Cadena, and Camila Marambio.
