EXHIBITIONS

October 2019

Jesse Jones: Tremble tremble 10.31.2019 - 03.01.2020 The Film & Video exhibitions program at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is permanently committed to artistic practices associated with the moving image, and explores the critical relationship between visual arts, film-based installation, and contemporary culture at large. With a practice that weaves the dramatic presentation of film together with sculpture and performance, Jesse Jones (b. 1978, Dublin) examines the materializations of collective memory and the ways in which gestures, objects, and language provide a stage for artistic experimentation. Tremble Tremble was originally produced in 2017 for the Irish Pavilion of the 57th Venice Biennale, and has subsequently undergone site-specific adaptations for galleries and institutions in Europe and Asia. The installation, technically and conceptually ambitious, appropriates the historical figure of the witch as a powerful symbol in modern Western history, and a carrier of poetic and political potentiality.
