about Breda Beban

It is great pleasure that Trieste Contemporanea now makes this little
book available to friends and scholars.

This is a collection from the symposium on the art and life of Breda
Beban organized on April 22th, 2017 in Trieste, curators Ana Čavić and
Dubravka Cherubini and in association with the artist’s estate and the
Kalfayan Galleries (Athens – Thessaloniki).
The symposium had the collaboration of the Slade School of Fine Art,
University College London, that gave us the joy of seeing the video
recording of a lecture Breda gave at this educational institution in
2008, and amazingly commenting her 2006 video The most beautiful
woman in Gucha.

Drawing on the experience of international art curators and art world
professionals that were also Breda’s close friends, this first
symposium, dedicated to Breda Beban five years after she died, offered
a unique perspective in considering the significance and impact of her
artistic work and the teaching.

With very personal memories, critical themes in contemporary art
have been explored, which are closely related to Beban’s work – such
as artist and morality or photography (humans and love) on the
margins of big stories about geography and politics. So, now an intense
and complete portrayal of the great artistic and moral figure of Breda,
who I too had the honour of knowing and loving, emerges from these
pages.
