Biografia

Ana Mendieta è stata un’ artista cubana naturalizzata statunitense.

Nata il 18 novembre 1948 a L’Avana in una famiglia dell’alta borghesia, I suoi genitori sono Raquel Oti de Rojas, chimica e ricercatrice, e Ignacio Alberto Mendieta de Lizáur, avvocato presso il dipartimento statale di Cuba il padre di Ana, se in un primo momento aveva aderito alla rivoluzione, in seguito si schiererà con i controrivoluzionari.
Nel 1961, a 12 anni, venne introdotta negli USA insieme alla sorella Raquelin all’interno del programma del governo statunitense e della Chiesa Cattolica denominato Operazione Peter Pan.Dai primi anni di vita, quando fu separata dalla sua famiglia cubana per diventare una rifugiata in America, fino all’adolescenza, quando si sentì un’estranea crescendo nel Midwest, la giovane artista ha sentito una disconnessione dai concetti di madre, luogo, identità, appartenenza e casa. Inizia così un pellegrinaggio tra centri di raccolta profughi (tra cui un centro di recupero per minorenni violenti a Dubunque, istituti religiosi e famiglie affidatarie.
Studia al Liceo di Dubuque, nello stato dell’Iowadove subisce molti episodi di discriminazione razziale e bullismo. È un dolore quotidiano che affronta da sola, facendo leva sul suo carattere, combattiva e sensibile.
Nel 1967 si iscrive all’Università seguendo inizialmente corsi di arte primitiva e culture indigene.Successivamente frequenta corsi di pittura, conseguendo un master in pittura e uno in arti intermediali. Ana Mendieta inizia la sperimentazione con la fotografia e cresce il suo interesse per le azioni performative. La manipolazione del corpo diventa il suo linguaggio, e fin dai primi lavori emerge con forza la sua indagine sulla fluidità di genere.

Nel 1972 inizia la sua produzione indipendente con performance di Body art sul proprio corpo.Nel 1973 a sconvolgerla è un orribile fatto di cronaca: lo stupro e l’omicidio di una ragazza, Sara Otten, proprio nel Campus dell’Università dell’Iowa. Ana decide che quello è il momento di agire, e lo fa a modo suo, come solo lei potrebbe fare. Realizza una performance per denunciare quell’orrore: invita studenti e professori nella sua camera e si fa trovare, insanguinata e nuda, nella stessa posizione nella quale era stato trovato il corpo della studentessa vittima del crimine. Nuda dalla vita in giù, con gli slip abbassati fino alle caviglie, i glutei e le gambe intrisi di sangue, piegata sul tavolo e con i polsi legati, completamente immobile, come un pezzo di carne. Mantenendo quella posizione, si rivolge alla platea lì riunita ad assistere, usando ancora una volta il proprio corpo per riflettere e perelaborare quel male.
Inizia così un’indagine approfondita sul tema dell’identità femminile e della sua percezione da parte della società. Tra i risultati di questo studio l’opera Glass on body, in cui vediamo l’artista schiacciare il proprio corpo su lastre di vetro, deformandone l’aspetto. In questo modo rivendica la propria immagine, alterata e disturbante e per questo libera, perché sottratta alle pretese dello sguardo maschile
Nel 1973/ 75 durante un viaggio in Messico intraprende le prime esplorazioni del rapporto tra il proprio corpo e la terra ,iniziando così la serie delle Siluetas, che continuerà costruendo simulacri di sé stessa con materiali naturali, diventando pioniera di una nuova forma d’espressione che unisce Land Art e Body Art. Tra gli elementi utilizzati preferisce la Madre Terra, sia come materia base da poter modellare sia come luogo originario a cui l’artista, perenne esule, può far ritorno attraverso il rituale della performance. Anche sangue, fuoco e acqua sono essenziali per il suo vocabolario; sepoltura e rigenerazione sono temi ricorrenti.
Nel film Silueta de Arena, una sagoma del corpo dell’artista realizzata con la sabbia viene lentamente erosa dall’acqua, fondendo il corpo con il paesaggio. L’opera fa parte della serie di performance “earth-body”, in cui l’artista riproduce delle sagome del proprio corpo con elementi naturali, rivelando il suo interesse per una dimensione ritualistica di fare arte e la sua percezione della terra come uno spazio sacro.
Nel 1978 si trasferisce a New York dove diventa professoressa a contratto al College of Old Westbury
Nel 1980, grazie ad un programma di un’organizzazione per gli scambi tra Cuba e Stati uniti, ritorna per la prima volta nella isola natia. A questo fanno seguito numerosi altri viaggi, in cui Mendieta esplora sia il territorio sia le narrazioni sugli spiriti indigeni, in particolare quelli sulle divinità femminili utilizzate dalle popolazioni locali per nominare i fenomeni naturali.

Tramite il circolo di AIR entra in contatto con il fervido ambiente artistico culturale di New York e conosce l’artista del minimalismo Carl Andre.
Nel 1983 vince il “Roma Price” dell’American Academy di Roma, che comporta una residenza d’artista con studio e appartamento nella zona di Trastevere (la “Casa Rustica”).Si ferma in Italia due anni, insieme a Carl Andrè, viaggiando con la sua Volkswagen anche in Europa alla ricerca di siti preistorici.
A Roma, grazie al personale dell’American Academy, entra in contatto con artigiani ed artisti che la possano supportare nei nuovi progetti: in particolare nei lavori sui tronchi e sugli scudi di legno, mai completati. Conosce l’artista Nunzio di Stefano che le suggerisce i tipi di legno da utilizzare.
È a Roma, nel suo studio presso l’American Academy, che matura l’idea di utilizzare dei tronchi in verticale, manipolandoli ed utilizzando come totem o come scudo (Totem Grove 1983 -1985) Era la prima volta che la Natura prendeva spazio nel suo studio e veniva manipolata e trasformata tramite bruciature con la polvere da sparo per diventare un artefatto, da esporre verticalmente Conosce inoltre Fabio Sargentini e gli artisti che ruotano intorno alla sua galleria l’Attico.
In quei due anni a Roma inizia a sperimentare la tecnica dell’incisione su lastra. Il giorno del suo matrimonio con Carl Andre, avvenuto a Roma il 17 gennaio 1985, lo stampatore Romolo Bulla pubblica il volume Duetto Pietre Foglie, un lavoro a due mani con il compagno.
Alla fine dell’estate rientra a New York, e l’8 settembre 1985 muore cadendo dal suo appartamento al 34 piano durante una lite con il marito, il quale viene processato e assolto da ogni accusa.La vicenda rimane comunque controversa
