The Materiality of Judy Chicago Judy Chicago

The Materiality of Judy Chicago, curated by Allison Raddock, aims to offer a comprehensive overview of Judy Chicago’s work, through the lens of the materials and innovative techniques that have defined the artist’s six-decade career while introducing viewers to a new series of work which will make its debut at Galleria Alberta Pane.
 

From spray-painted car hoods and porcelain plates to needlework and glass, Judy Chicago has continuously challenged artistic hierarchies, embracing techniques historically dismissed as “craft” to expand feminist and conceptual art practices. For this exhibition, curator Allison Raddock has conceived a journey that, moving through some of the most important series of the artist’s career, extends to her most recent works.
 

Artist, writer, educator, and feminist Judy Chicago has spent decades championing a broader definition of art, an expanded role for the artist, and women’s fundamental right to freedom of expression, becoming an internationally recognized symbol of these commitments. The Materiality of Judy Chicago offers a compelling visual narrative that celebrates her artistic journey and underscores her belief in art as a powerful vehicle for intellectual transformation and social change. 
 

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue conceived by the graphic design studio Multiplo and edited by Alberta Pane, featuring an exclusive interview between Chicago and Massimiliano Gioni.
