Triennale Milano presents 'Movimenti come Monumenti', a solo exhibition of Rita Ackermann curated by Gianni Jetzer. The show focuses on the artist's chalk paintings, arranged in triptychs that emphasize three-dimensionality. Key works include 'Meditation on Violence' (2014), 'Coronation on Massacre of Love I' (2017), and 'Wiped Out Heroines' (2014), featuring layered green tones and ghostly figurative lines. Ackermann, born in Budapest in 1968, lives and works in New York. Jetzer is a New York-based critic and curator-at-large of the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington.
