‘Ana Mendieta: Suspended Fire’ is an immersive installation featuring two films created by Cuban-American artist Ana Mendieta.
The installment will be the newest addition to the Denver Art Museum’s cross-departmental exhibition, ‘The Light Show’, and will showcase remastered versions of Anima, Silueta de Cohetes (Firework Piece) (1976) and Untitled: Silueta Series (1978). The two films portray the primordial element of fire, connecting thematically to The Light Show exhibition’s exploration of physical and symbolic representations of light in art.
Organized by the DAM and curated by Laura F. Almeida, curatorial fellow for modern and contemporary art at the DAM. ‘Suspended Fire’ will be on view December 6 2020 through March 7 2021.
