manifesto of fragility – A World of Endless Promise
Giulia Andreani – Résistants, 2012
2024
Watercolour on paper
Venue
Born 1985 in Venice, Italy.
Lives and works in Paris, France.
Painting with watercolour and acrylic, and in Payne’s grey only, Giulia Andreani conjures forgotten histories, buried narratives and invisibilised people. As a “memory worker”, she composes her pictures from various sources – archival documents, vintage photographs and screen grabs of auteur films – to craft possible new ways of reading history. At Lugdunum, she shows a set of pictures that echo the museum’s archaeological collections. she exhibits a series of paintings that recall symbols traditionally associated with fragility, but which reveal multiple promises of resistance and strength, such as Les Résistants, which depicts a couple of smiling men.
Also on view at the Fagor factories and in The many lives and deaths of Louise Brunet at the macLYON.
