{"product_id":"teresa-hubbard-alexander-birchler-flora-redux","title":"Teresa Hubbard \/ Alexander Birchler: Flora Redux","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the Swiss Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale, the Swiss American artist duo Teresa Hubbard \/ Alexander Birchler (born 1965 and 1962 respectively) presented \u003ci\u003eFlora\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBust\u003c\/i\u003e, exploring the life of the unknown American artist Flora Mayo, with whom Alberto Giacometti had a love affair in Paris in the 1920s. While Giacometti is one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century, Mayo’s oeuvre has been destroyed, her biography relegated to a footnote in Giacometti scholarship. In this acclaimed work, which had its American premiere at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in 2019, Hubbard \/ Birchler reframe Mayo’s history through a feminist perspective that interweaves reconstruction, reenactment and documentary into a hybrid form of storytelling. \u003ci\u003eFlora\u003c\/i\u003e, a double-sided film installation, is conceived as a conversation between Mayo and her son, David, whom the artists discovered living near Los Angeles. The work generates a multifaceted dialogue between a mother and son, Mayo and Giacometti, Paris and Los Angeles, and past and present. This richly illustrated book depicts the journey of Hubbard \/ Birchler’s process and is accompanied by a transcript of the film installation, a visual chronology of Flora Mayo’s life, and conversations with the artists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture rigide","offer_id":46470102909138,"sku":"9781942185598","price":92.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_9180bed5-4246-4328-bbe1-a7fc45d70086.jpg?v=1762879064","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/fr\/products\/teresa-hubbard-alexander-birchler-flora-redux","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
