Mau Monleón Pradas and the plural radicalism of expanded sculpture. Dialogues between art, politics, feminism and society

Abstract

The Valencian sculpture of the 1980s and in the following decades --with its revision, exercised from the teaching practice and research itself-- opened an outstanding stage, in full political transition, of an intergenerational nature, in which it is worth underlining the role played by the relevant presence of women, in such a context of sculptural creativity. In the present work, the trajectory of the sculptress Mau Monleón Pradas (Valencia, 1965), both in her transmedia artistic production, and in her diversified socio-political action, is taken as the guiding thread of this transdisciplinary phenomenon and of vindictive commitment. assuming the gender perspective, as a lever arm of its plural investigative development and influential aesthetic activity.
