1-3 March 2019

The series focuses on the Beat Generation as a cultural phenomenon, specifically in women poets who were part of the movement and have historically been less visible than their male counterparts. Beatnik is the derogatory term that the conservative American society dubbed the poets of the so-called Beat Generation.

Each piece is inspired by the poems and lives of these eight Beat Generation authors: Lenore Kandel, Diane Di Prima, Mary Norbert Körte, Denise Levertov, Hettie Jones, Carolyn Cassady, Anne Waldman, and Elise Cowen.

· Series composed of 8 pieces
· Collage made by hand without retouching or digital redimensions
· Framing type case. Black wood frame
· Measures: 65×95 cm


Rebeka Elizegi presenta Beatnik en Hybrid Art Fair de la mano de la galería Arteuparte Gallery

Hybrid Art Fair / 1-3 marzo 2019
Hotel Petit Palace Santa Bárbara / Plaza Santa Bárbara, 10, Madrid

La serie se centra en la Beat Generation como fenómeno cultural, más concretamente en las mujeres poetas que formaron parte del movimiento y que históricamente han tenido menos visibilidad que sus compañeros hombres. Se trata de un homenaje reivindicativo a esas poetas, que han quedado a la sombra en la historia de la literatura. Beatnik es el término despectivo con el que la sociedad americana conservadora apodó a los poetas de la llamada generación beat, y por tanto es el título de esta serie, ya que una vez más en la historia del arte y la literatura, ellas fueron las más despreciadas del grupo por el hecho de ser mujeres.

Ante la pregunta de por qué no hubo poetas mujeres en la llamada generación beat, Gregory Corso respondió: «Hubo mujeres, estaban allí, yo las conocí, sus familias las encerraron en manicomios. Algún día alguien escribirá sobre ellas».

Cada pieza está inspirada en los poemas y la vida de estas ocho autoras: Lenore Kandel, Diane Di Prima, Mary Norbert Körte, Denise Levertov, Hettie Jones, Carolyn Cassady, Anne Waldman y Elise Cowen.

· Serie compuesta por 8 piezas
· Collage realizado a mano sin retoques ni redimensiones digitales
· Enmarcado tipo vitrina. Marco de madera negro
· Medidas: 65×95 cm

Os esperamos!
