Claude Cahun
28 October 2011 to 2 February 2012 at
Centre de Imatge, Barcelona, Spain

“After many years of relative obscurity, the photographs of Claude Cahun (born Lucy Schwob, 1894-1954) are now very much at the forefront of art history. They have featured in numerous exhibitions over the last twenty years and been the subject of many studies. This retrospective, the first to be organised on this scale in sixteen years, sets out to show the diversity and essential unity of her art, but also to place it in the context of the artist’s intellectual development, the boldness and singularity of which significantly inform today’s scene.
This exhibition was organized by Jeu de Paume, París, and coproduced with La Virreina Centre de la Imatge, Barcelona, and The Art Institute of Chicago.” – Centre de Imatge

“Lizzie Thynne’s film ‘Playing a Part: the story of Claude Cahun’ is showing from 28 October 2011 to 2 February 2012 at Centre de Imatge, the major contemporary art gallery of Barcelona, as part of the touring solo show of the surrealist artist, Cahun’s, work. The show has moved from the Jeu de Paume in Paris where it closed in September after a very successful run which attracted over 77,000 visitors. The exhibition continues to the Art Institute of Chicago in Spring.” – the blog of University of Sussex
