Giulia Andreani. Sabotage
In the organizer's words:
Giulia Andreani opens the Hamburger Bahnhof's anniversary program with paintings that reveal ruptures in official histories. Andreani's artistic practice of "painting with photographs" thrives on the tension between authoritarian figures and forgotten figures of the past. The figurative, monochrome paintings, whose Paynes gray is reminiscent of historical photographs, are based on family albums or archives. They reveal stories, address collective forgetting and open up new layers of meaning for the present. Andreani's anniversary contribution reframes historical collections through contemporary perspectives: the exhibition architecture refers to Sigmar Polke's exhibition "Three Lies of Painting" at Hamburger Bahnhof in 1997 and her paintings are shown together with works from the Collection of Classical Antiquities, the Museum of Decorative Arts, the Museum of European Cultures and the Museum of Prints and Drawings.
Andreani (born 1985 in Mestre, Italy) studied painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice and contemporary art history at the Sorbonne in Paris. In 2018, Andreani was a fellow of the Villa Medici, the French Academy in Rome. In 2022 she was shortlisted for the Prix Marcel Duchamp. Her works are represented in collections including the Center Pompidou (France), Musée National de l'Histoire de l'Immigration (France), Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Italy), MASI (Switzerland) and MASP (Brazil). The exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof is Andreani's first institutional solo exhibition in Germany.
