Spotlight: A New Group Show Explores the Moon as a Timely and Symbolic Source of Inspiration for Female Artists

Annika Olsen, Artnet Gallery Network, 20 November 2023

Opening next month, Amsterdam-based Enari Gallery will present the group exhibition “Moons,” featuring the work of six artists: Johanna Bath, Amy Beager, Maya Fuji, Ariane Heloise Hughes, Minyoung Kim, and Ioanna Limniou. On view from December 2, 2023, through January 20, 2024, the theme of the show, and in turn the works, explore and question ideas around the female gaze, using the moon and lunar symbology as a thematic touchstone. Historically and canonically, the moon is often associated with womanhood, femininity, mystery, and even the sublime—but artistic engagements with the celestial body are largely tethered to the male perspective. Here, artists through their work offer a new line of inquiry, and propose new narratives that stem from radical new vantages.
