Mona Hatoum. Projection

On the occasion of the third Joan Miró Prize, awarded in 2011, the Fundació Joan Miró and "la Caixa" Foundation dedicate an exhibition to the work of the winning artist, Mona Hatoum (b. 1952; Beirut, Lebanon). Projection brings together some forty pieces from the last twenty years, with an emphasis on recent works, including a new work entitled Turbulence made especially for this exhibition. The selection and installation of works intends to contradict the commonly-held notions regarding the output of this British-Palestinian artist as well as her position vis-à-vis the geopolitical references that have become synonymous with her production. Including installations, videos, sculptures, photographs, and works on paper, the exhibition expands the semantic field usually associated with Hatoum's work and opens up new possibilities, hints at new meanings, and proposes a complex and renewed reading of her vast body of work.

The exhibition has been curated by Martina Millà, head of Programmes and Projects at Fundació Joan Miró, in close collaboration with the artist.
