Woman. Metamorphosis of modernity

The Joan Miró Foundation is pleased to present, in cooperation with Antenna Audio, the temporary exhibition, ‘Woman. Metamorphosis of modernity’. This exhibition, curated by Gladys Fabre and sponsored by the the Banco Bilbao Vizcaya (BBVA), contains over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and photographs produced between the late 1920s and the 1970s by some twenty artists of international renown. Georges Braque, Marcel Duchamp, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Georgia O’Keeffe, Pablo Picasso, Man Ray and Niki de Saint Phalle are among them.

The starting point for Antenna Audio´s tour of the exhibition is the late 1920s, a time of emancipation for women and great changes in artistic production. Artworks came to be viewed as the incarnation of an artist´s desires. The theme of woman as muse began to take over from conceptual still-life, the machine, the automaton and the object, forcing a change of style that liberated modernity.

The tour is on Antenna Audio’s award-winning X-plorer™ MP3 player, which is specially designed to meet the unique needs of museums and historic sites and is available in Catalan, Spanish and English. The exhibition runs from late November 2004 to 6 February 2005.
