the constant inequality of leonor’s days* is a new sculptural installation by Leonor Antunes, spread across six rooms on the ground floor of the Crac Occitanie. For over twenty-five years, Leonor Antunes has been developing a body of work made up of sculptural suspensions that inhabit architectures, while offering a critical interpretation of the sites and their histories. At the Crac, visitors are invited to freely roam a space full of objects that combine the language of sculpture with those of decorative arts, costumes, and stage furniture, decompartmentalising the conventional categories of art, design, and architecture. This exhibition is presented following the exhibition da desigualdade constante dos dias de leonor*, presented at the CAM from 21 September 2024 to 17 February 2025.
This exhibition is a readaptation of the exhibition presented in Lisbon. The title is followed by an asterisk indicating that it is a citation. Leonor Antunes borrows this title from a drawing by Portuguese artist, filmmaker, writer and poet Ana Hatherly (1929–2015). It contains Leonor Antunes’s first name, and the drawing was created in 1972, the year she was born, a biographical coincidence that reinforces her deep private connection with Hatherly. The latter’s drawing is a tangle of words, its density making the text almost unreadable.
