The constant inequality of Leonor's days*

Leonor Antunes - The constant inequality of Leonor\'s days*
Une documentation complète sur l'installation de Leonor Antunes au CAM – Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian, Lisbonne.
The newest installation by Portuguese contemporary artist Leonor Antunes is a large, crossable "floor sculpture" commissioned for the opening of CAM Lisbon's Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian.
CAM's building—designed by Sir Leslie Martin with his collaborators and opened to the public in 1983, has undergone a major renovation by Kengo Kuma & Associates, and opened to the public in September this year. Speaking to the history of the building, Antunes's installation began with an investigation into the almost unknown career and work of British architect, designer, and writer Sadie Speight (1906–96), a central figure of the Modernist movement in the United Kingdom, whose participation in the design of CAM's original building was entirely overlooked.
Focused on Antunes's installation and research into Speight's body of work, this book brings a new critical reading of Antunes's work, anchored on feminist theories and art history narratives. With texts by the exhibition curator Rita Fabiana, and by the authors Connie Butler, Julia Bryan-Wilson and Taisa Palhares. The book also includes work by Portuguese women artists from CAM's collection, including Helena Almeida, Ana Hatherly, and Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, curated by Antunes and exhibited at CAM alongside the artist's installation.
La démarche de Leonor Antunes (née en 1972 à Lisbonne, vit et travaille à Berlin) s'élabore dans la radicalité de références au minimalisme et au modernisme, dans la recherche d'un équilibre fragile entre œuvres, objets d'art, mobilier et espaces.
De nombreuses expositions personnelles lui ont été consacrées à travers le monde : CAPC (Bordeaux), Tensta konsthall (Stockholm), San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Museo Tamayo et Museo Experimental El Eco (Mexico), Pérez Art Museum (Miami), Kunsthalle Basel, Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof (Hamburg), Kunstverein Dusseldorf, Museu de Serralves (Porto), Museo Nacional Reina Sofia ( Madrid), Credac (Ivry-sur-Seine)... Elle participe également régulièrement à des expositions collectives internationales (12ème Biennale de Sharjah, 8ème Biennale de Berlin, Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, Singapore Art Museum, Kunstverein München...). Ses œuvres ont été acquises par de prestigieuses collections : Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Daimler Chrysler, Berlin, Caixa Geral de Depósitos et Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisbonne, Museo Nacional Reina Sofia à Madrid, etc.
Textes de Julia Bryan-Wilson, Connie Butler, Rita Fabiana, Taisa Palhares.
