Louise Joséphine Bourgeois, born in 1911, who passed at age 98 is paired with Isabelle Albuquerque born in 1981, in a show, The Wandering Womb, at the Lumber Room. Both were inspired by the female body. Albuquerque makes sculpture and performance today. With her trajectory, it is unusual for her work to be seen in Portland so it is a good chance to see it and an inspired curatorial combination.

Albuquerque is giving a free talk Monday at 6PM at PNCA and live streamed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAgJ_foHMVU.
