Cristine Brache: Centerfolds
Exhibition Dates: 12 February – 02 April 2026 Location: Bernheim Gallery Centerfolds | 12 February - 2 April 2026 时过一个多月，我还常能想起这个展。Brache画的非常好，技法比较神秘，是位很有自信与态度的女士，这个展带着一种真诚的怀念，性别的反思，女人重新为女人讲述故事。好笑的是，这个展在美国根本没有画廊想做或者敢做。 Dorothy Stratten 也写诗，也出版过书。但这些事实，在关于她的叙述中几乎被省略。被保留下来的是作为《花花公子》中的形象——一个美艳符号，一个年轻的悲剧。 这个展加入了制香师朋友的作品，专门为这个展做的调香。在展览的尽头，三楼，我闻到了它：那是一种带着年代感的脂粉气息，像刚刚合上的粉盒，化好妆的人已经走远了。 “In fact, you didn't use the word pornography at Playboy. You called it art." Dorothy certainly called it art. "That's how Dorothy sold it to our mother," says Louise. "She told our mother that she wasn't selling her body, that she was selling her beauty, that the photos were art." - VANITY FAIR on Dorothy Stratten by Lili Anolik
Brache在开幕后第二天有一个talk，前来的大多数是女性。她分享了很多观点，笨拙记了些笔记，如下： The more you saw her, the more she disappeared. To look is to consent Self objection is not a one way thing How to be a feminist- under a misogynistic world there is no right or wrong. Scent is a must-to-feel-at-the-space thing. So this kinda brought her back Scent is putting a language on her. There is only one size of the playmate custom. So it’s like if you don’t fit so you don’t have good organs (?) If I have my brain now at when I was 20, I would sure be a millionaire. But I am not. Men would not even get questioned why they do anything. So as a woman as a feminist (also as I’m older now) I want that freedom. I want that ownership. Porn is problematic when it’s under misogynistic umbrella.
