Chiara Fumai @ Waterside Contemporary Gallery

Chiara Fumai lives and works in Milan. Her performative practice belongs to the tradition of female psychics that are ‘spoken by’ different controversial entities, which the artist freely interprets and combines into new stories, while questioning their symbolic meaning and representation. Dealing with radical feminism, media culture, language and repression, Fumai’s starting point is lecture-performance, later transformed into installations, videos, collages, sound, embroidery and fictional documentation.  These are on view in her new exhibition The Book of Evil Spirits.
