The show

Furla Foundation and GAM - Galleria d'Arte Moderna di Milano are pleased to announce Moving in Space without Asking Permission , an exhibition by Andrea Bowers curated by Bruna Roccasalva .

Andrea Bowers ' first solo exhibition in an Italian institution, Moving in Space without Asking Permissio n offers an immersive experience within the artist's work and her commitment to the struggle for gender equality and women's emancipation.


Andrea Bowers is an American artist and activist whose research combines aesthetic practice and political commitment from a feminist perspective. For about thirty years the artist has been investigating fundamental issues such as gender equality, the rights of women and workers, immigration and environmentalism, through a formal approach with a strong visual impact and a linguistic experimentation that embraces a wide variety of means of expression, from drawing to video, from neon installation. His ability to return complex topics in an accessible and direct vocabulary is the perfect example of how art can, through the aesthetic power of its languages, convey socially relevant messages.


The Moving in Space without Asking Permission exhibition is part of a broader reflection on feminism that Bowers has been pursuing for some time, and focuses in particular on the relationship between feminism and bodily autonomy, with an eye both to the present and to the history of our country . Each Bowers project starts from an in-depth research work on the context in which it operates and from the encounter with its social fabric. In this case Moving in Space without Asking Permission starts from the artist's confrontation with some Italian feminist experiences of today, in particular with the work of the philosopher and activist Alessandra Chiricosta who studies and teaches the exercise of martial arts as a self-instrument. body awareness and break with gender stereotypes. The project was also born in response to the specificities of the GAM exhibition context: a museum whose collection refers to the historical period between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when the women's emancipation movement in Italy was taking its first steps.
