Walkthrough: ‘Seventy Years of The Second Sex’ with curator Dr. Sophie Berrebi

On the occasion of ‘Seventy Years of The Second Sex. A Conversation between Works and Words’, please join us for a walkthrough of the exhibition with curator Dr. Sophie Berrebi.

How does Simone de Beauvoir’s 1949 book ‘The Second Sex’ read today for an artist? And how does it affect the way we look at art made since the book was published? This March, Hauser & Wirth brings a group exhibition to its gallery on Limmatstrasse in Zurich to initiate a reflection on Beauvoir’s milestone study with, and through, contemporary art. At the dawn of the seventieth anniversary of the book’s first English translation (1953), ‘Seventy Years of the Second Sex’, curated by Dr. Sophie Berrebi, brings together works by Louise Bourgeois, Geta Brătescu, Lee Lozano, Roni Horn, Zoe Leonard, Eva Hesse, Annaik Lou Pitteloud and others that converse with Simone de Beauvoir’s ideas and their legacy.
