TALLULAH STUDIO ART
in collaboration with FABBRICA EOS

Photographic project curated by Patrizia Madau

The exhibition presents a selection of her most famous projects, including In the Dollhouse, in which Dina Goldstein explores themes of beauty, power and sexuality through the iconic images of Ken and Barbie. These two dolls, symbols of perfection and unrealistic aspirations, become the protagonists of scenarios that challenge our perceptions of real life. Dina Goldstein manages to twist the idea of perfect happiness to show us that even the brightest figures can hide shadows and dissatisfaction.

Dina Goldstein’s creative genius explodes even more boldly with Fallen Princesses, a project in which the artist reinterprets the princess friends of our childhood dreams and presents them in contexts that challenge the traditional fairy tale narrative. The Disney princesses, often shrouded in their aura of enchantment and serenity, are captured in raw and real moments that force us to confront the difficulties of life. His ironic and provocative vision conveys a powerful message: fairy tales do not always have a happy ending.

The Gods of Suburbia series offers a profound analysis of the role of religion and faith in the contemporary world, while in Last Supper, East Vancouver, Goldstein takes inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting to recreate The Last Supper in a modern, urban context. This reinterpretation not only pays homage to an artistic masterpiece but also leads us to reflect on contemporary social dynamics and places of marginality, such as Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, where stories of redemption and fall intertwine.

Dina Goldstein is a unique and powerful voice on the contemporary art scene. With her engaging approach, she challenges us to look beyond the surface of images and reflect on complex issues affecting our society. Each image is an invitation to explore not only beauty, but also the everyday challenges we all face. A truly visionary artist, capable of transforming the common perception of reality into a living work of art. Her work has been recognised by major awards, including the Arte Laguna Special Prize in 2012 and the Grand Prize of the Prix Virginia in 2014.

The exhibition is co-organised with Fabbrica Eos Arte Contemporanea.

Fabbrica Eos  

Fabbrica Eos was founded in Milan in the 1990s. Giancarlo Pedrazzini, the founder and current director, set out on his own after his experience in an important Milanese gallery, with the intention of promoting young artists from the outset, guided above all by the instinctive theory of the “importance of the encounter” and the conviction that art reaches a mature stage thanks to the complicity and exchange between gallery owner and artist. Indeed, Fabbrica Eos has the pleasure of opening the exhibition curriculum of numerous artists still active on the contemporary art scene. In 2019, it will open its new space in Milan, in one of the city’s fastest-growing districts. The new space will be inaugurated with an important event, the exhibition of Mimmo Rotella, in collaboration with the renowned critic of Nouveau Réalisme, Pierre Restany, preceded by a performance in which the master Rotella and the gallerist will tear posters from walls and billboards all over Milan. Numerous solo exhibitions followed, the first by artists who are still very active today, including Robert Gligorov, Giovanni Sesia, Enzo Fiore, Corrado Levi, Fabio Internazionale d’arte di Venezia (2011).

The promotion of “young” artists continues through the organisation of exhibitions in its own premises, the publication of catalogues, participation in fairs and the use of IT, but also thanks to the creation and consolidation of a circuit of collaborations with galleries, institutions, companies and cultural and sports associations, which allows the artists supported to achieve maximum visibility. These include the initiatives undertaken since 2009 with the Rovedine Golf Club, which has been transformed into a Sculpture Park thanks to the installation of works all over the course and the sponsorship of themed sports competitions (sculpture, music, painting).
