Exhibition
Mary Sue (her raw gaze)
21 September 2019 — 2 November 2019
Location
- Galeria Quadrado Azul, Porto
Opening: 21st September, 4 pm
Mary Sue (her raw gaze) is a group of artworks named after the archetype of
fan fiction literature - a female character, too perfect to be well written,
too likeable to be interesting to read about, often acting as an idealized
alias of the female author. On show at Quadrado Azul in Porto there will be ten
paintings, some large on canvas, and some small on molded reliefs. Between themselves,
they create a narrative about the search for female subjectivity and the
possibility of finding - and using - a genuine female gaze.
