- Title
Jill Magid's Woman with Sombrero: A Poetic Interrogation of Artistic Legacy.
- Authors
Barlow, Anne
- Abstract
This article on the exhibition Woman with Sombrero (2013) by Jill Magid at Art in General focuses on the artistic methodologies and exhibitionary strategies used by the artist in exploring the legacy of Mexican architect Luis Barragán, whose personal archive remains in Mexico, but whose professional archive now resides in Switzerland. While able to reproduce imagery from the personal archive in Mexico for the purposes of the exhibition, Magid was unable to consult the professional archive or use images of Barragán's work due to strict copyright restrictions. Designed to remain just within the confines of the law, the resulting exhibition and related performance contained visual references that were both real and imagined, alongside artistic gestures, invitations and correspondences that ultimately reflected Magid's interrogation of art, ownership and national identity.
