Dominique White | Deadweight
Max Mara Art Prize for Women in collaboration with Whitechapel Gallery - 9th edition
27 October 2024 – 16 February 2025
After its first presentation at the Whitechapel Gallery in London, Collezione Maramotti is the next stop for this project by Dominique White, winner of the ninth edition of the Max Mara Art Prize for Women (2023 - 2024). It features new sculptures developed during a six-month Italian residency in Agnone, Palermo, Genoa, Milan and Todi.
The jumping-off point for these works is “deadweight tonnage”, a technical concept used in the shipping industry to calculate how much weight a vessel can carry without sinking.
Over the course of her residency, the artist explored the meaning and use of this idea, its past role in the slave trade, and its contemporary forms in the Mediterranean.
