CARRIE MAE WEEMS. A Great Turn in the Possible

Carrie Mae Weems (Oregon, 1953) is a multidisciplinary artist best known for her photography work, a medium she has used extensively for the last forty years of her career. The exhibition looks back at Weems' body of work with an emphasis on her pioneering approach to photography — images are projections into the future animated by a tireless sense of hope.

The exhibition, curated by Elvira Dyangani Ose, is presented jointly at the Centro de Fotografía KBr Fundación MAPFRE and at Fundación Foto Colectania.

The exhibition is organised by Fundación MAPFRE in collaboration with Fundación Foto Colectania, Barcelona and Württembergischer Kunstverein, Stuttgart.

Maridajes is a series of exhibitions initiated in 2007 in the exhibition hall of Bodegas RODA (Haro, La Rioja) based on photographs from the Foto Colectania collection.

In each selection, a common link is established between different photographers under a central thematic axis. The 27th edition of the Maridajes cycle, entitled "Based on True Stories", offers a new look at the Foto Colectania collection, with photographs by Manel Armengol, Javier Campano, Carlos Cánovas, Jean-Marie del Moral, Cristina García Rodero, Francisco Gómez, Juande Jarillo, Fernando Lemos, Isabel Muñoz, César Ordóñez, Carlos Pérez Siquier, Txema Salvans, Gervasio Sánchez, Rafael Sanz Lobato, Luiz Simôes & Ricard Terré.
