Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster Untitled, 1987/2015

Untitled was included in Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster’s 2015 exhibition at the Museu de Arte Moderna in Rio de Janeiro for which the artist recreated works from her early years. Characteristic of her continuous play with temporal displacements and the subjectivity of experience, Untitled conflates past and present. As temporary marker of leisure, the picnic blanket relates to Gonzalez-Foerster’s ongoing preoccupation with urban parks and beaches, in her words, “as places for playing, full of possibilities... It’s not like the city...It’s an open territory.”
