Louise Bourgeois: Unconscious Memories

“Louise Bourgeois: Unconscious Memories” is the first exhibition dedicated to a woman contemporary artist at Galleria Borghese, and the first Roman exhibition of work by the French-American artist, who was one of the most influential of the last century. About 20 sculptural works will be in dialogue with the unique architecture of the Casino Borghese and its collection, focusing on themes of metamorphosis, memory, and the expression of emotional and psychological states. These themes, also explored by artists in the Borghese collection, are invigorated by Bourgeois’ contemporary lens, which offers new perspectives on the human experience, thanks in part to her extraordinary diversity of forms, material, and scale, allowing her to express a range of emotional states. The exhibition, conceived by Cloé Perrone and curated with Geraldine Leardi and Philip Larratt-Smith, produced in collaboration with The Easton Foundation and the Academy of France – Villa Medici, will be on view until September 15th 2024.
