Apparently ironic and irreverent, Elizabeth Dychter conveys a deeper reflection than what the observer visually appreciates. The breast, a powerful female instrument, is presented in two installations under the title Tetas (Breasts). Beauty and decadence, love and pain, life and death, all summarized in the same “breast.” Born and raised in Buenos Aires, the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, she knew from the very beginning what the transmission of memory and the value of life meant. After a journey of more than 30 years, rich in successes and recognitions, the artist continues to delve into the need to leave a legacy.
Elizabeth Dychter's work is the result of a one-month artistic residency at the Faenza Art Ceramic Center (FACC), involving an extensive technical process with porcelain, in which she developed and incorporated new concepts in collaboration with the center’s technicians and curators. Thus, the FACC adds a new chapter to this fertile, sensitive, cultural, and artistic alliance between continents, with a reference point: the city of Faenza.
The works will be on display in the new Faenza space for contemporary art: Officine Matteucci, which boasts a rich artistic and historical identity; recognized as the National Center for the work of entire generations of Matteucci wrought iron craftsmen, from 1640 to 1960. Today, Officine Matteucci is lead and managed by four young Faenza natives, a team with extensive professional capabilities.
