Films and sculptures by Rosa Barba are being exhibited at the CAPC Musée d'Art Contemporain de Bordeaux. The exhibition will be on view through March 25, 2017.Rosa Barba’s films and sculptures bring together memory and fiction, documentary-style narrative and sci-fi storytelling, in a wide-ranging reflection on the poetic qualities of landscape as a place deeply engraved with the traces of history. Throughout Barba’s work we find portraits of obsolete architecture and natural landscapes, scenes from remote deserts, skeletons of industrial buildings, and fragments of writing and words from artists, poets, and geographers. On the occasion of her exhibition at CAPC musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, Barba presents a new 35mm film to be screened in the monumental space of the Nave. Shot in the USA, at the largest media archive worldwide — the Library of Congress Packard Campus for Audio-Visual Conservation in Culpeper, Virginia — the film “From Source to Poem” investigates what could be seen as the cultural legacy of twentieth-century Western civilization.The exhibition is on view at CAPC Musée d'Art Contemporain de Bordeaux, 7, rue Ferrère, F-33000 Bordeaux, France.
