Leonor Antunes' First Major Solo Show in France at CAPC Bordeaux

Leonor Antunes, a Portuguese artist, presents her first major solo exhibition in France at the CAPC musée d'art contemporain in Bordeaux. The show runs from November 27, 2015, to April 17, 2016. Antunes engages with the museum's history, both distinguishing herself from and drawing inspiration from it. She has chosen to transfer elements from the museum's architecture and collection into her own sculptural language, creating a dialogue between past and present. The exhibition features a series of suspended sculptures and floor pieces that reference modernist design and the work of female artists and architects such as Lina Bo Bardi and Charlotte Perriand. Antunes' practice often involves meticulous research into overlooked figures in art and design history.
