This summer, Tate Modern will stage the UK’s first major exhibition dedicated to multidisciplinary artist Ana Mendieta (1948-1985) in over a decade. Active in the 1970s and 1980s, Mendieta’s ground-breaking practice challenged traditional notions of sculpture, photography and film. Using her own terms to describe her art, she is best known for her ‘earth-body’ works, outlining her body in the landscape with natural elements such as earth, fire and flowers. Featuring over 150 works, the exhibition will be arranged thematically through symbolic locations, highlighting key moments in the artist’s career and demonstrating her persistent engagement with the natural world. Her iconic Silueta Series 1973-80 will be presented alongside newly remastered films, rarely seen paintings and drawings, late sculptures and restaged installations, shedding new light on her practice and demonstrating its lasting power for new audiences.
