About the artwork
At the crossroads between tapestry and sculpture, this work evokes the question of gestation. For Amalia Ulman, tapestry becomes a direct, unadorned statement that draws its strength from today's codes.

Amalia Ulman is an astonishing artist. A rising star on the contemporary scene, she doesn't allow herself to be trapped in the stereotypes she condemns, and astonishes with each of her productions. An artist to watch who has already been spotted by the entire art market ecosystem, Amalia Ulman's Maternity Leave shows all her originality and creative power. Pushing back the boundaries of her art each time, Amalia Ulman never ceases to surprise and make a name for herself, as in her first feature-length film, El Planeta, which she will present in 2021 at the Centre Pompidou to critical acclaim.
About the artist
Argentine artist, born in 1989. Lives and works in Los Angeles (USA). At the crossroads of many social issues, Amalia Ulman's work explores the relationships between consumerism and identity, gender and class. Although she uses a variety of original media in her art, her main focus is on performance. Her best-known work, Excellences et perfections (2014), is a performance art piece using Instagram as a site of expression. Acquired by the Tate Modern (London, UK), this performance has led her to be considered the first artist to bring Instagram to the Tate Modern. Internationally recognized, Amalia Ulman has exhibited at the Utah Contemporary Art Museum (USA), the Whitechapel Gallery (London, UK) and the Centre Pompidou (Paris, France).
