Suzanne Lacy, In Mourning and In Rage, 1977

 

Pending the opening of the new Prato complex planned for spring 2015, the Luigi Pecci Centre for Contemporary Art celebrates its fresh start with a new season in its Milanese branch, the Milan Pecci Museum, at No. 113 Ripa di Porta Ticinese. The Centre is taking this opportunity to launch a whole new line of investigation, dedicated to the protagonists of international art who did pioneering work in the sixties, seventies and eighties. The series will be opened by Suzanne Lacy, with a themed retrospective titled Gender Agendas which will remain from 14 November to 6 January.

The exhibition presents, for the first time in Europe, a large series of works of this Los Angeles artist, known as one of the initiators of the crucial operation of blending conceptual and performance art with social commitment in the early seventies in Los Angeles. Her activity ranges from explorations of the body and intimate reflections to the production of large and lengthy public demonstrations involving dozens of artists and thousands of spectators.
