Andrea Bowers' Anti-Trump Video at Kaufmann Repetto
Andrea Bowers' second solo show at Kaufmann Repetto in Milan centers on a new video recorded during the second day of the Trump presidency. The footage captures protests and marches in Washington D.C., focusing on the actions and thoughts of two activist groups, creating an archival document of what Bowers considers a fragile moment for American democracy. The exhibition explores overlaps caused by minority suppression and political alliances, with the piece 'Disrupting and Resisting' treating these forces as invisible yet persistent shapers of resistance. A key work is the neon wall piece 'Forbidden Words Illuminated,' a counter-censorship piece that continuously displays words recently banned by the Trump administration, including 'transgender,' 'fetus,' and 'vulnerable.' The show runs at Kaufmann Repetto in Milan.
