Renewed interest in Deligny’s life’s work is largely due to
         his publishers Sandra Alvarez de Toledo and Anaïs Masson,
         Barrada’s longtime friends with whom she has collaborated
         closely on this exhibition.
         For Barrada, “Deligny’s search for new maps and modes
         of being represent a vital heritage for artists.” In bringing
         together selected works by artists including Anni Albers,
         Vito Acconci, Louise Bourgeois, Lygia Clark, David
         Hammons, and Bruce Nauman with films, maps, writings,
         and photographs that document Deligny’s revolutionary   Vito Acconci  (American, 1940–2017).
