Louise Bourgeois's 'L'inconscio della memoria' at Galleria Borghese

Galleria Borghese in Rome presents 'L'inconscio della memoria', a major exhibition dedicated to Louise Bourgeois, curated by Cloé Perrone with Geraldine Leardi and Philip Larratt-Smith. The show explores themes of metamorphosis, memory, psychoanalysis, and feminism, intertwining Bourgeois's work with masterpieces by Caravaggio, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and Antonio Canova. Key works include Cells such as 'Passage Dangereux' and 'The Last Climb', fabric busts referencing her family's tapestry restoration, and 'Spider' in the Secret Gardens. The exhibition highlights Bourgeois's dialogue with art history, from Bernini's 'Apollo and Daphne' to her own 'Janus Fleuri', addressing duality and sexual fluidity. Concurrently, two other Bourgeois shows run at Galleria Trisorio in Naples and Museo Novecento in Florence.
