Ramaya Tegegne's 'Feelings are Facts' at Galerie Maria Bernheim explores art economics and history

Ramaya Tegegne's exhibition titled 'Feelings are Facts' is on display at Galerie Maria Bernheim in Zurich from January 19 to March 10, 2018. The showcase delves into the economics surrounding art creation, featuring pieces that reference various artists and significant historical events. Named after Yvonne Rainer's memoir, it includes 'Business Hours' (2018), which emphasizes the commercial aspect of galleries. 'Shermans' (2018) incorporates elements from Stuart Sherman's 1994 performance, reflecting on his passing in 2001. 'Mullicans' (2018) echoes Matt Mullican's 1973 work with mirrored props. Additionally, 'Our Bodies Ourselves' (2018) creates a frieze inspired by the 1971 publication, highlighting women's health and rights. The exhibition critiques the value extraction by galleries from history, underscoring the effort required for social or emotional significance in art.
