Il Gionale dell'arte: Carole Feuerman's Women's Bodies in Rome

With its accessories, tattoos, and scars, the body exposes itself and tells its story. American artist Carole A. Feuerman (born in Connecticut in 1945) has been telling this story for over fifty years. She is the protagonist of the retrospective exhibition "The Voice of the Body" at Palazzo Bonaparte in Rome, running from July 4th to September 21st . The exhibition brings together over fifty works, from her early experiences in the 1970s to the present day, tracing her career spanning Superrealism and Pop Art , following a precise thread: her aesthetics of the body and her poetics of the whole figure, as well as the fragment. From her best-known sculptures in epoxy resin, colored with oils or lacquers, to bronzes and polished steel spheres; From her early work as a graphic designer, little known to the general public, to her illustrations for the New York Times in 1972 and those for the Rolling Stones tour, through her 1978 self-portrait, " two sculptural legs and platform shoes ," as she herself describes it; and finally, the site-specific installation "Individual Mythologies," presented for the first time in Rome: a reticular structure (created with designer Marcello Panza) made from 2022 casts of heads, hands, shoes, and feet in various scales.
