Fabio Mauri's 'Ebrea' Performance Reenacted at Hauser & Wirth New York
Hauser & Wirth New York presented a reenactment of Fabio Mauri's historical performance 'Ebrea' as part of the exhibition 'With Out,' running until April 7. The performance, first staged in 1971 at Galleria Barozzi in Venice, features a young naked girl approaching a mirror and forming a Star of David with her hair. Mauri (Rome, 1926–2009) repeatedly restaged this politically and humanly radical work throughout his life. The exhibition, organized with French art dealer Olivier Renaud-Clément, surveys Mauri's five-decade career exploring ideology and power through drawing, sculpture, painting, performance, film, installation, theater, and writing.
