On Love


Solo exhibition, Gallery Bienvenu Steinberg & C , 2024, New York






On Love, Fernanda Fragateiro’s third exhibition with the gallery. Characterized by her interest in rethinking and probing modernist practices, Fragateiro's work involves an archaeological approach to the social, political, and aesthetichistory of modernism. Through continuous research with material from archives, documents,and objects, she establishes a nuanced political feminist position by uncovering the architectural gestures of mostly absent female subjects. In the annals of history, dormant things lie—unsaid, unfinished, discarded. Fragateiro reexamines and renders them into three-dimensional form. On Love is a constellation of conversations with women artists, architects, and designers—from Elaine Lustig Cohen and Otti Berger, to Lina Bo Bardi and Alison Smithson who, by becoming the caretakers for history, have been oftentimes occluded from it.
