Screening Room: 'Louise Bourgeois: The Rage to Understand'

On the occasion of the exhibition ‘Louise Bourgeois. Gathering Wool,’ at Hauser & Wirth 22nd Street, please join us for a screening of Marie-Ève de Grave’s new documentary, ‘Louise Bourgeois: The Rage to Understand’ in our amphitheater at Hauser & Wirth 18th Street.

Throughout her life as an artist, Louise Bourgeois created with a volcanic intensity, rejecting all pretense and displaying her vulnerabilities in a way few artists had dared to do before her. 'The Rage to Understand’ recounts a life devoted to creation, through the artist’s own words and voice.

Excerpts from Bourgeois’s correspondence and previously unpublished writings from her journals are interwoven throughout the film, sketching the portrait of a profoundly divided woman, torn by exile, who constantly sought to impose a new vision of art—an art that reflects our inner questions, where emotion, fragility and anxiety become sources of strength.
