Cuando recib la invitacin de Alejandra Herrera (organizadora
de la exposicin en Chile) y Natalie Loveless (curadora international y
creadora del proyecto) para sumarme a este proyecto como curadora
nacional, realmente no haba trabajado formalmente con obras o
artistas que vincularan arte y maternidad. Sin embargo, debido a mi
propia condicin de madre y a la proximidad con algunas de las artistas
invitadas a la exposicin en Chile, ya haba llevado adelante horas y
horas de conversacin que me permitieron abordar esta nueva arista de
la discusin sobre feminismo, gnero y arte que haba desarrollado en
exposiciones anteriores (Handle with care. Mujeres artistas en Chile 1995
2006, Museo de Arte Contemporneo 2007; Esto no es una exposicin
de gnero, Centro Cultural de Espaa AECID 2008) as como en las dos
versiones del Seminario Historia del Arte y Feminismo realizadas bajo mi
direccin en el Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (2012 y 2013).
En especial las conversaciones llevadas desde hace tiempo con
la artista ngela Ramrez me haban permitido no slo contar con una
interlocutora sagaz, atenta a las condiciones de produccin para las artistas
mujeres en nuestro pas (Linda Nochlin siempre presente), portadora de
un sano sentido del humor que nos permita seguir analizando y no morir
de angustia, sino tambin focalizar ms agudamente la mirada sobre las
artistas madres.
FOREWORD BY
Soledad Novoa Donoso
At the time when I received the invitation by Alejandra Herrera,
organizer of the exhibition in Chile, and Natalie Loveless, international
curator and project creator, to participate as national curator, I had not
yet formally worked with artworks or artists that approached the subjects
of art and motherhood. Nevertheless, due to my own motherhood and
my proximity to some of the artists invited to the exhibition in Chile, I
had hours and hours of conversations to my advantage, which enabled
me to take on this as a new aspect within a broader discussion on the
subjects of feminism, gender and art, that I had already been working on
in previous exhibitions (Handle with care. Mujeres artistas en Chile 1995
2006. Museo de Arte Contemporneo 2007; esto no es una exposicin de
gnero. Centro Cultural de Espaa AECID 2008), as well as in both editions
of the History of art and feminism Seminar carried out under my direction
at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in 2012 and 2013.
Especially my conversations with ngela Ramrez opened up the
possibility for me to both have this adroit conversation partner to rely
on an individual who has always been attentive to the production
conditions of women artists in our country (Linda Nochlin, ever present)
and the proud owner of a healthy sense of humor, which allowed us to
continue analyzing without falling prey to anguish and also to closer
focus on the view of mother artists.
para las madres que tambin son profesionales en sus campos. En pocas
palabras, en la mayora de los imaginarios sociales e institucionales, la
buena profesional y la buena madre son opuestos categricos; uno
requiere de la censura del otro. Esto es precisamente lo que desafan los
trabajos en esta exposicin, reuniendo el cuerpo que pertenece en la polis
con el que pertenece en el oikos y procesndolos (por tomar prestado un
modismo de Andrea Liss) m/otros. En este contexto podramos aunar
el trabajo reciente de Ettinger que, con mucha razn, has destacado en
esta conversacin con el trabajo de Sarah Ruddick sobre Pensamiento
Materno. En ambos casos, existe un esfuerzo en darle un marco tico a
lo materno que yo relaciono con algo profundamente ecolgico.
Klein: Creo que tu proyecto de comprometerse con lo materno y con
la representacin de la maternidad como nexo potente de la ecologa del
cuidado, es realmente importante en la coyuntura actual, especialmente
teniendo en cuenta que los artistas y el arte ya no se encuentran slo
en los grandes centros urbanos. Cmo empezamos a participar con el
arte feminista y sus artistas de una gran variedad de culturas, identidades,
experiencias, estructuras sociales y econmicas? Tu idea de la ecologa
del cuidado se vuelve muy importante vis--vis al reciente mundo del
arte globalizado, con su nfasis en curadores, bienales y exposiciones
blockbuster. Esto te permite interactuar con diferentes condiciones
polticas, institucionales y religiosas/culturales para el beneficio de las
interacciones de New Maternalisms, sin caer en la trampa de actuar como
curadora occidental blanca que descubre a los artistas que trabajan fuera
de los principales centros urbanos, ubicados principalmente en Amrica
del Norte y Europa Occidental. El nfasis en el afecto y la materialidad
permite un dilogo entre los y las artistas que estn trabajando con lo
materno y la maternidad, desde diferentes partes del mundo.
El amor maternal es ridiculizado y temido en la cultura occidental
contempornea. Puedo nombrar al menos 5 pelculas o programas de
televisin donde el amor maternal sin control se ha convertido en algo
monstruoso y aterrador (Psicosis de Alfred Hitchcock y las pelculas
de Alien, por ejemplo). Sin embargo, el amor maternal es algo que la
mayora de nosotros, no importa donde nacimos y crecimos, hemos
experimentado. En gran parte, el mundo del arte ha compartido la
aversin general a cualquier tipo de compromiso con lo maternal, al
considerarlo demasiado sentimental y esencialista. El promover el arte
y las artistas incluidas en Maternal Metaphors y New Maternalisms es
una de las razones por las que estaba emocionada por la oportunidad de
re-imaginar y re-curar el proyecto en Chile fue la oportunidad de poner en
relieve preocupaciones diferentes de las que estructuraron la exposicin
de Toronto. Por ejemplo, muchos de los y las artistas y acadmicos con
los que habl en Chile sugieren la importancia de esta exposicin en el
contexto de las luchas polticas condicionadas por un sistema jurdico en
favor de una de las leyes anti aborto ms restrictivas del mundo, un tema
muy presente en la opinin pblica despus del anuncio presidencial de
Mayo del 2014 donde la presidenta deca estar considerando modificar la
ley para permitir el aborto en casos de violacin probada, embarazos no
viables o cuando est en peligro la vida de la madre. Trabajar con Soledad
Novoa Donoso ha facilitado una importante y dialgica apertura de mis
prejuicios curatoriales, aportando otros temas como el cuidado materno
y la transmisin intergeneracional. Mi objetivo con cada interaccin de la
exposicin es hacer de lo maternal un nexo de investigacin cada vez ms
complejo. Dado este contexto, agradezco no slo a Soledad sino tambin
a ti, Jennie, por tus desafos y compromiso.
DISCUSSION BETWEEN
DR. NATALIE S. LOVELESS AND DR. JENNIE KLEIN
JULY 2014
Dr. Natalie S. Loveless is the curator of New Maternalisms (Toronto,
2012) and the international curator for New Maternalisms Chile
(Santiago, 2014). Dr. Jennie Klein, co-curator of the exhibition Maternal
Metaphors II (2006) and co-editor of The M Word: Real Mothers in
Contemporary Art (2011), was invited to join Loveless and Soledad
Novoa Donoso (the national curator for New Maternalisms Chile) as a
key interlocutor for the symposium held at the Museo Nacional de Bellas
Artes (MNBA) on Saturday June 28th, 2014. In what follows Klein and
Loveless expand on the conversation they began during the symposium,
reflecting on the New Maternalisms project and the importance of the
maternal in contemporary art.
Loveless: Id like to start by saying a few words about the genesis of
New Maternalisms, as a curatorial idea and as a theoretical project. I came
up with the idea for the exhibition in 2011, soon after the birth of my son.
As a new mother, professional artist, and working academic, I started to
research the history of artists making work about their experiences as
both artists and mothers, focusing on the period since the birth of feminist
art in North America and Western Europe in the 1970. While I was doing
this, Shannon Cochrane, artistic and administrative director of Canadas
internationally renowned FADO Performance Art Center, asked if I might
be interested in curating something for FADO and responded favorably to
my suggestion of an exhibition on contemporary performance art and the
maternal. This is how the first New Maternalisms exhibition was born.
It struck me that women artists who engaged with the idea of the
maternalsocial, psychic, and institutionalwere rebelling against the
ideological construction of femininity and maternity in popular culture
AND the dismissal of this very central experience for women by the art
world, even from those artists who identified strongly with feminism. If,
in the seventies, the task was to recover the erased history of women
who made art, the task today seems to be about recovering the erased
history of maternal identity and representation. How can we read the
work in New Maternalisms through the recent and not so recent history
of maternal representation? To what degree can we reclaim or re-read art
that was not initially labeled as maternal, but that addresses a maternal
subjectivity nonetheless? Finally, do you think it is still the case that the
notion of the maternal somehow renders the work as less than its
masculine counterparts?
Loveless: Your questions remind me of the narrow genesis of this
project for me. At the beginning I was responding to a very specific
North American and Western European second wave concern with
representations of the female body in post-structurally informed feminist
art practice. Given my early training and interest in performance art, and
later training in feminist theory, I wanted to revisit the well-rehearsed
suspicion of the body (and of sentimentality) in feminist art articulated
by scholars and artists such as Laura Mulvey, Griselda Pollock, and Mary
Kelly. With the utmost of respect for their pioneering work, I asked:
how can the live performing body challenge the ideational equivalences
set up by these concerns concerns with phallogocentric identificatory
mechanisms? As a product of the putative third wave of feminism
these areas of theoretical concern have been of general interest to me
for over a decade now, but it was in becoming mother that, rather than
simply intellectually compelling, they became politically urgent.
While early feminist art and activism drew attention to the gendered
division of labour and patriarchal coding of the female body, as you
mention, it generally distanced itself from motherhood and the maternal.
When it did bring attention to the maternal, it often celebrated the
thinking, analytic mother, relegating the messy biological presence of the
maternal body to the status of the dangerously essentializing. Arguing
that womens status as mothers had been used to keep women out of
the workforce, out of public office, and out of universities, many early
feminist art strategies and discourses carefully avoided the maternal, the
Klein: As someone who has written about artists who have worked
primarily in performance, I too have been very interested in the point
at which affect, materiality, and performativity intersect. Although I
was not able to see the first iteration of New Maternalisms in Toronto,
I was intrigued by your use of work that engaged performatively with
the idea of maternal subjectivities, and that there was a real attempt to
acknowledge that those subjectivities were shaped by the geographical,
ethnic, racial, and cultural context in which they were made. I liked that
you embraced the performance of maternity, as well as the idea that
its representation is a process rather than a final product. Many of the
artists in whom I am interested, such as Courtney Kessel and Alejandra
Herrera Silva, have engaged with the idea of a maternal language that
stands apart from patriarchal logocentrism. Julia Kristeva had of course
posited that this maternal language, which she termed the Semiotic, was
pre-linguistic and therefore pre-symbolic. Kristeva was interested in the
link between the semiotic and representation, particularly non-linguistic
representation that exceeded the structured parameters of words. More
recently the artist and psychoanalyst Bracha Ettinger has posited that this
they each require the censorship of the other. This is precisely what
the works in this exhibition challenge, bringing together the body which
belongs in the polis with that which belongs in the oikos and rendering
them (to borrow Andrea Lisss idiom) m/Other. In this context we might
pair Ettingers recent work that you are so right to highlight in this
conversation with Sarah Ruddicks work on Maternal Thinking In both
cases there is an attempt to ground an ethical framework in the maternal
that I see as deeply ecological.
Klein: I think that your project of engaging with the maternal, and
with maternal representation, as a potent nexus of ecological care is
really important at this juncture, especially given that artists, and art,
are no longer found only in major urban centers. How do we begin to
engage with feminist art and art makers from a variety of cultures,
identities, experiences, and social and economic structures? Your idea of
the ecology of care becomes very important vis--vis the newly global
art world, with its emphasis on curators, biennales, and blockbuster
exhibitions. It permits you to engage with different political, institutional,
and religious/cultural conditions for the iterations of New Maternalisms
while not falling into the trap of acting as the white western curator who
discovers artists working outside of major urban centerslocated
primarily in North American and Western European. The emphasis on
affect and materiality allows for a dialogue between artists who are
working with the maternal and maternity from different parts of the
world.
Maternal love is ridiculed and feared in contemporary western culture.
I can name at least 5 movies or television programs where unchecked
maternal love has become something monstrous and frightening (Alfred
Hitchcocks Psycho and the Alien ftilms, for example). Yet maternal love
is something that most of us, no matter where we were born and raised,
have experienced. To a large extent the art world has shared the general
aversion to any sort of engagement with the maternal by deeming it
too sentimental and essentialist. To promote art and artists like those
included in Maternal Metaphors and New Maternalisms is to insist on
the centrality of this experience and the importance of this position as
we move forward with global feminisms. As Shannon Jackson has pointed
out, traditional patriarchal oppositional anti-institutional language risks
being in collusion with Neo-liberal discourses that seek to dismantle the
institution at the expense of the individual. What is at stake in your

Basada en anteriores propuestas y en el trabajo colectivo con su madre e hija,
tambin artista, la obra presenta un dilogo verbal y visual enmarcado en una
triple relacin maternal. El dilogo propuesto desestructura las nociones de
jerarqua filial, enunciando un cruce entre aspectos fundamentales de la vida,
la muerte, creacin, alumbramiento, luz, oscuridad, ceguera, rito, sabidura,
transmisin de conocimientos y experiencia, intimidad. Materialmente, propone
desplazamientos, traspasos y cambios de estado, generando una arquitectura
visual y auditiva al incorporar el registro de las voces de sus protagonistas.
Based on previous proposals, and collective work between the artist, her
mother and her daughter, also an artist, who enter into verbal and visual
dialogue framed in a triple maternal relationship. The dialogue proposed
unstructure notions of filial hierarchy, stating a cross between fundamental
aspects of life, death, creation, birth, light, darkness, blindness, ritual,
wisdom, knowledge and experience transfer, intimacy. Materially, it proposes
displacements, thresholds, transfers and changes of state, generating a visual
and auditory architecture through the recorded voices of its protagonists.

el Hospital Barros Luco Trudeaux (Two art pieces for the Barros Luco Trydeaux
Hospital) and in 1999 obtains the same support for Dos obras plsticas para el
Centro Penitenciario Femenino de Santiago (Two art pieces for the Womens
Prison of Santiago). During 2000 she participates in exhibitions in Casa Colorada
and Galera Animal in Santiago. Her work, installation and interventions in public
buildings evidence her interest and reflection on modern architectural structures
and the way these interact with the urban landscape over long periods of time,
and how they affect the daily lives of individuals unconsciously. She is the mother

Dimensiones variables (instalacin)
100 x 80 cm c/u (fotografas)
Visual artist, feminist and animal rights supporter, BFA in Photography from
Universidad de Chile and Graduate Diploma in Photography from Pontificia
Universidad Catlica de Chile. Her work travels between the languages of
photography and the audiovisual, often intertwined with performance actions,
dealing with topics such as the abject as well as questioning identities and gender
conventions. The critique to hetero-normative parameters of physical beauty in
western society has become the central axis of her work. Rivera participated
in the collective Miss 3 seoritas (Miss Three Ladies), from 2004 up to 2010
together with Senoritaugarte and Zada Gonzlez; three female artists gathered
around the questioning of the limits and stereotypes in erotism and how the
female figure is caricatured as an object of desire. Mayor exhibitions include:
Post Mortem, La Petit Mort Gallery, Ottawa (2013); La Sombra de una sonrisa
(The Shadow of a Smile), Centro Cultural Estacin Mapocho (2011); Antologa
Visual de Jvenes Fotgrafos (Visual Anthology of Young Photographers), Museo
de Arte Contemporneo (2011); XXXII Concurso Nacional de Arte Joven (32nd
National Young Artists Competition) , Sala Pntangeles, Valparaso (2010); Mujer,
Arte y Compromiso, ( Women, Art and Commitment) Museo Salvador Allende
(2009); Handle with care / Mujeres artistas en Chile, (Handle with Care / Women
artists in Chile) Museo de Arte Contemporneo (2007); Quehaceres Domsticos,
(Housework), Galera Posada del Corregidor; Exposicin XXVIII Concurso de Arte
y Poesa Joven, (28th Young Arts and Poetry Competition Exhibition) Sala El Farol,
Valparaso (2006); Efmero, (Ephemeral) Centro Cultural de Espaa (2005). She is
the mother of Emilia of 5 and Amanda of 2.
A partir del conocido refrn cra cuervos y te comern los ojos, Rivera
indaga en los arraigados parmetros de crianza occidentales, proponiendo la
subversin del modelo tradicional al aceptar la posibilidad de ser devorada
por su propia hija. Frente a las imgenes tradicionales de la maternidad, aqu
la relacin madre-abuela-hija se sustenta en la abyeccin de materialidades y
de relaciones ya no basadas en patrones y moldes dados, sino en la sublevacin
frente a stos reflejada en la imagen desafiante y amenazante de su hija.
From the known proverb breeding crows, and theyll eat your eyes, Rivera
explores the deep-rooted parameters of western upbringing, proposing the
subversion of the traditional model on having accepted the possibility of being
devoured by its own daughter. Unlike traditional images of motherhood,
mother-grandmother-daughter relationship that Rivera shows relies on the
abjection of materiality and relations no longer based on given patterns and
dice molds but in the uprising against them, reflected in the challenging and
threatening image of her daughter.
