Guernica Remastered (oct 1, 2021 – apr 1, 2022)

Description:

Guernica Remastered is an exhibition at Remai Modern (October 2021 - April 2022), which positions Picasso’s art as an inspiration for contemporary artists. By taking Picasso’s 1937 work Guernica - a symbol of antiwar sentiment and political action - as their starting point, the artists in the exhibition produce works that emulate Picasso’s composition while speaking to present-day concerns. These recreations provide a powerful example of Picasso’s lingering impact on contemporary art, and exemplify how Guernica is called upon as a model for activist, political art. Artists include Adad Hannah, Goshka Macuga, Robert Longo and others, and also documentation of the piece as a political icon throughout history.
