Abstract:"GEGO, Gertrud Louise Goldschmidt [...] was one of the leading artists of her generation in Latin America, known above all for her large-scale spatial installations. She regarded her works not as sculptures, but as structures or drawings in space. Gego studied Architecture under Paul Bonatz at the Faculty of Architecture of the Technical College in Stuttgart from 1932 to 1938. Gego's training and practice as an architect had a major influence on her art, in that the forming of space remained a central concern of her artistic practice. Gego was of Jewish origin and had to emigrate to Venezuela in 1939, at the age of 27. In 1987, Gego was sent some questions by the Senate in Hamburg as part of a study entitled 'The Exile and Emigration of Hamburg Jews', led by Professor Trapp. [...] After her death, the Fundacìon Gego found her written answers and some reflexions and notes about her works. N. David combines present day footage from Caracas and archive footage of Gego’s work and life with Gego’s texts and statements from curators, art historians and family members."
