Lara Favaretto: Just Knocked Out

Overview

Curated by Peter Eleey, Curator, MoMA PS1, and co-organised by MoMA PS1 and Sharjah Art Foundation, Just Knocked Out was the most complete overview of Lara Favaretto’s work to date. Not conceived as a conventional survey, the exhibition included a selection of works from Favaretto’s past fifteen years, as well as new pieces created specifically for the exhibition. It was first presented at MoMA PS1 in New York, for which the artist created one new piece, a site-specific installation that extended through all of the galleries. The artist also created an original work for her Sharjah presentation. This booklet accompanied the exhibition and includes forewords from Hoor Al Qasimi and Eleey, as well as descriptions and visuals of the works that were on view. The exhibition was supported in part by The Contemporary Arts Council of the Museum of Modern Art and The International Council of The Museum of Modern Art.
