Artist Beata May will present her solo exhibition ‘Où est Vénus? – Where is Venus’ in Monaco this August, as part of an ambitious cross-continental art showcase by Unchained.Art,

The two-week pop-up runs from 9th to 22nd August, curated by Christina Hiltscher. The exhibition represents Unchained.Art’s vision of “showing art across borders and supporting emerging and experienced artists cross-continentally.”

The first week showcases May’s solo exhibition, described as “a powerful solo exhibition exploring myth and identity through her latest works.” The Polish artist’s piece ‘Icon III’, is created by acrylic mixed media on a 31.5-inch circular canvas.

May’s central question – Where is Venus? – forms conceptual foundation for the entire exhibition.

International artists respond

The second week expands the conversation as six additional Unchained.Art artists respond to May’s question. The group includes Ditte Sørensen, Juliette Lepage Boisdron, Raeanne Schachter, Larry Goode, Jeff Bush, and Magnus, representing artists from Austin, Canada, and Europe.

According to the organisers, “through their collective yet distinct voices, they reflect on identity, transformation, mythology, and the role of women in society” in what is described as “a cross-border dialogue showcasing bold perspectives and bridging artistic communities.”

Unchained.Art states they are “bringing our vision of showing art across borders and supporting emerging and experiences artists cross-continentally to life this Summer,” with the exhibition particularly aimed at Europe travellers.

The exhibition runs 9th to 22nd August at Espace 22 in Monaco.
