WPS1 Venice interviews: Annette Messager
Alanna Heiss sits down with artist Annette Messager in WPS1's booth onboard the Fusina. Messager's Casino at the French Pavilion won the Golden Lion award.
One of the most important contemporary artists working in Europe, Annette Messager fragments images and language to explore the concept of fiction, the dialogue between individual and collective identity, and the social issues of normalcy, morality, and the role of women. In her work she forcefully illustrates the idea that all things -- a child's beloved toy, a photograph, a piece of embroidery, a word with seemingly unambiguous meaning -- can be transformed into objects of potent expression. - from the-artists.org.
