Battleground: Tania Candiani and Regina Jose Galindo
January 22-May 2, 2009

Curated by Kerry Doyle
In this two-person exhibition, Tania Candiani and Regina José Galindo were exhibited side by side in an intimate exploration of the feminine body preparing for or engaged in battle with unseen forces. Candiani went to war in the domestic sphere, protecting her body using common kitchen implements as both weapons and armor, in work that challenged the rules of engagement in the home. Regina José Galindo used her own body as a battleground, absorbing and reflecting the violence that surrounded her. Both artists deflected the aggression that permeates contemporary society and its resulting disempowerment.
