«I just don’t like eggs!» 
Andrea Fraser on collectors, collecting, collections.

Curated by Andrea Viliani with Vittoria Pavesi

Opening: 13.4.24 at 11.00 AM

Scheduled to open on April 13, 2024, at the Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare in Bolzano, «I just don’t like eggs!». Andrea Fraser on collectors, collecting, collections is the first solo exhibition ever devoted by an Italian institution to the research of artist, writer and thinker Andrea Fraser (USA, 1965).

Curated by Andrea Viliani with Vittoria Pavesi, the exhibition is the first survey solely dedicated to Fraser’s works investigating collectors, collecting, the art market, and the intersections between private and public collections. The project includes works spanning the artist’s overall research, from the late 80s to her recent productions, including a new artwork especially conceived for this exhibition. Taken from the script of Fraser’s performance May I Help You?, the title «I just don’t like eggs!» evokes the language and mentality of collecting as an enactment of taste, desire, distinction, possession, categorization, negation, exclusivity, and the exercise of choice as an expression of power.
