A new exhibition titled 'Louise Bourgeois: Echoes of the Morning' has opened at the PoMo museum in Trondheim. The show centers on a series of vibrant, visceral gouaches created by Bourgeois in the last four years of her life, presented in dialogue with major sculptural installations like 'Peaux de lapins, chiffons ferrailles à vendre' (2006) and 'Spider Couple' (2003). The exhibition offers an intimate, focused exploration of the artist's late work.
The exhibition provides a significant psychoanalytical and material examination of Bourgeois's enduring themes: ageing, the human body, time, and maternal anxiety. By juxtaposing her final, rapidly executed paintings with large-scale sculptures, the show frames her practice as an interrogation of time's inescapable cycle and the physical and psychological tensions of the body, offering a powerful reading of her artistic legacy.
