Description
The exhibition Bumped Body by Paloma Varga Weisz (Mannheim, Germany, 1966) submerges visitors in a new world. Bodies, whether male or female, have no fixed shape in this Alice-in-Wonderland universe.
In Wilde Leute 1998, which is publicly on view for the first time in the Bonnefanten Museum, the small terracotta figures represent curious creatures; androgynous people with animal ears. The work shows that even in the early days of her practice, Varga Weisz was trying to distance herself from identities and role patterns.
Varga Weisz operates smoothly between woodcarving and ceramics, drawings and watercolours, theatrical environments, and film and sound works. With these disciplines and media she raises an enchanting world in the exhibition where peculiar creatures set the tone.
This catalogue was produced to accompany the exhibition Bumped Body, on display at Bonnefanten Museum, Maastricht, The Netherlands in 2019. The exhibition later toured to the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, UK in 2020.
There may be signs of age or yellowing to the pages as these are original copies from the publishing year. This is reflected in the pricing of the text.
