Ana Bidart: Long Before the Walls

Delfina Foundation presents the first European solo exhibition by Mexico-based Uruguayan artist Ana Bidart, introducing a constellation of newly commissioned, site-specific installations and interventions.

Mainly through playful yet earnest acts of in-situ drawing, Bidart unpacks her long-term contemplation on the construct of history, the fluid parallels between drawing and writing, and the poetics of spatial and temporal negotiation. Further inspired by a recent trip to study the prehistoric rock art in Serra da Capivara National Parkin Brazil, Bidart attempts to embody the grammar of everyday mark making, flirting with the ghostly ‘noises’ of our surroundings and revealing layers of out-of-frame stories.
