Global Cities Beaudette’s recent paintings map the social and political diversity we inhabit. They are a mash-up of overlapping structures in an interconnected global system. These composite cities arise from buildings and places she has been. Dissolving boundaries between the developed world and emerging economies, global cities act as ecologies interlinked in survival. The stadium represents a place to convene. The central part of a Roman amphitheatre, the arena is the site of conflict and action, a social sphere where ideas are exchanged and debated. It appears as the womb of mankind, a place to grow, learn, and develop. |
