As part of the UNFINISHED CULTURE project, the Brodbeck Foundation is pleased to announce the opening of an exhibition by Viola Yeşiltaç, bastard pears & barricades.

On this occasion, the New York-based German-Turkish artist is presenting a body of work comprising “drawings”, sculptures and a performance with her collaborator Oliver Input, devised during her period at her residency in Catania.

The title of the show alludes to a state of resistance and struggle that characterizes both the work of Yeşiltaç, and more widely, of a generation of contemporary artists who are taking a viewpoint that differs from the recent past. (.......)

In Catania the autumnal fruit of the prickly pear is called a bastardo, so named to distinguish it from the one produced during the first flowering in spring. A bastardo is bigger, succulent and sweet, born from an abortion, from a traumatic and unnatural act, but the fruit of experience and intuition.
