Covered in Time and History: The Films of Ana Mendieta
November 9, 2016 – February 12, 2017
BAMPFA, 2155 Center Street, Berkeley
During her brief career, from 1971 to 1985, Ana Mendieta (1948–1985) produced a stunning body of work that included performances, drawings, sculptures, installations, and photographs. Less known, however, is her remarkable and prolific production of more than one hundred films. Covered in Time and History brings together twenty-one recently preserved films—many of which have had little previous exposure—in addition to a selection of related photographs; it is the largest grouping of the artist’s films ever presented in an exhibition in the United States.
