{"title":"Sarah Charlesworth","description":"\u003cp\u003eSarah Charlesworth (1947–2013) was an American conceptual artist and photographer whose practice interrogated the systems through which images produce meaning, authority, and desire. A founding member of the journal \u003cem\u003eThe Fox\u003c\/em\u003e alongside Joseph Kosuth and Art \u0026amp; Language, she was a central figure in the Pictures Generation — the loose grouping of artists who, from the late 1970s onward, worked with appropriated images to expose the ideological structures embedded in mass media, advertising, and institutional representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer work consistently asked what an image does rather than what it depicts: how photographs circulate, what they authorise, and what they conceal. This question — of orientation, access, and position within a system — was already present in her early collaborative work with Joseph Kosuth and Anthony McCall as \u003cstrong\u003eInternational Local\u003c\/strong\u003e, including \u003cem\u003eA che punto sei? \/ Where Are You Standing?\u003c\/em\u003e, originally produced for the 37th Venice Biennale in 1976 and re-presented in Venice in 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe materials gathered here are printed documents of that practice and its institutional reception — objects that record the points at which Charlesworth’s questions about images entered circulation as printed form.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"international-local-a-che-punto-sei-where-are-you-standing-venice-2026","title":"International Local (Sarah Charlesworth, Joseph Kosuth, Anthony McCall) — A che punto sei? \/ Where Are You Standing?, Venice, 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003eOffset-printed exhibition poster, 2026.

Visitors are asked to locate their position within the machinery of the Biennale: producer, intermediary, consumer, professional, public, insider, outsider. The exhibition is presented as a system of access, language, labour and cultural hierarchy. Three paths are proposed: Percorso 1 for art-world professionals (critics, curators, dealers, artists); Percorso 2 for artists, filmmakers, architects, dancers, photographers, writers, designers, musicians; Percorso 3 for the public. The maze in the centre of the sheet is the Biennale itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts return in 2026 places a 1970s conceptual poster back into circulation at the exact site of its original problem: Venice as exhibition, marketplace, international stage and maze.
