Louise Bourgeois: Unconscious memories
From June 21st to September 15th 2024, contemporary art returns to the Galleria Borghese in a new conversation between past and present with: Louise Bourgeois: Unconscious memories, the first-ever exhibition in Rome of one of the past century’s most influential artists. This landmark show explores Bourgeois’s profound contributions to sculpture by placing her work in dialogue with the storied collection and unique architecture of the Galleria Borghese. The selection of over 20 sculptural artworks revolve around themes of metamorphosis, memory, and the expression of emotional and psychological states. On this occasion the relationship between ancient and contemporary art becomes the focus of an ideal dialogue between masters from different eras and backgrounds, encouraging new possible ways of interpreting art history and the museum itself.
