Chalton Gallery is absolutely delighted to present the exhibition: Performing With The Video from the prolific Mexican Artist Pola Weiss. This's her first retrospective in the UK and her first one in Europe since 1987. Weiss was the pioneer of video art in Mexico and Latin America; her work includes diverse media forms staged for the video camera such as dance and music as well as technological experiments with video cameras and televisions.
The exhibition presents 12 video works including seminal works such as Flor Cosmica 1977, Videodanza Viva Videodanza 1979 and Mi Corazón 1985. A series of documents from the Arkheia Archive will be on show as well to illustrate how she challenged normative female experiences and relations between society and technology.
The exhibition has been made possible thanks to the kind support of MUAC Museum, TV UNAM and The Arts Council of England.
