Exhibition summary

La mujer que llevo fuera is an artistic project by Ernesto Artillo that translates feminist commitment into wearable art. The exhibition features unique suit designs intended to be worn by individuals expressing their convictions and advocating for the feminization of society, composed of a suit representing patriarchy and intervener brushstrokes.

Curatorial context

The exhibition 'La mujer que llevo fuera' showcases an artistic project by Ernesto Artillo, conceptualized as a means to externalize feminist convictions through a specially designed suit. This project aims to transform a suit, traditionally seen as a symbol of patriarchy, by intervening it with artistic elements that represent the feminine, thereby exteriorizing personal convictions and advocating for a more feminized and egalitarian society. Artillo describes these unique, numbered, and signed suits as a tool for individuals to 'wear their principles' and make a visible statement for a fairer, more egalitarian world. The project directly links personal commitment to outward expression, framing the suit as a 'uniform' and 'second skin' of one's beliefs. These artworks were slated for auction starting May 18th, with all proceeds donated to various women's associations, underscoring the project's direct engagement with feminist causes.

Admission and ticket notes

Works from this project will be auctioned starting May 18th via catawiki.com, with proceeds donated to women's associations. Specific ticketing or admission details for viewing the exhibition are not provided on this page, but the works themselves are part of an auction event.
