You are warmly invited to artist talks as part of the exhibition LINDA CHRISTANELL–Die Gaben der Göttin!
With Linda Christanell, the Künstlerhaus presents a pioneer of the feminist avant-garde. The solo exhibition is her largest to date.
In the mid-1960s, Christanell created drawings and paintings that engaged with Informel and Pop Art, as well as with form deconstruction and sign-like abstraction. At the end of the decade, she experimented with Plexiglas, textiles and foam, which she sometimes used in conjunction with her own body.
From 1976 to 1978, she worked with Renate Bertlmann as the BC-Kollektiv; with Karin Mack and Margot Pilz, she created the monumental photo series Wir über uns (1978–1981). Photography and film increasingly moved to the center of her work. In doing so, she explored the limits of representation and raised questions about body, gaze, identity and visibility.
