Remedios Varo: Science Fictions | Exhibition Stories

Hear from Art Institute of Chicago Research Associate Alivé Piliado on the exhibition Remedios Varo: Science Fictions.
The first museum exhibition dedicated to the artist in the United States since 2000-brings together more than 20 paintings Varo created in Mexico from 1955 until her death in 1963. Additional materials from the artist’s archive-large-scale cartoons for paintings, notebooks, sketches, detailed studies, ephemera, and personal possessions-offer an even deeper understanding of her distinct and diverse practice. The exhibition’s subtitle, Science Fictions, alludes to the tensions and possibilities Varo brought together in her work as she searched to visualize hidden orders and unseen truths.
