With Linda Christanell, the Künstlerhaus presents one of the pioneers of the feminist avant-garde. The artist has been a long-standing member of the association, and the solo exhibition is her largest exhibition to date.
In the mid-1960s, Christanell created drawings and paintings that engaged with Informel, Pop Art, form dissection and sign-like abstraction. Already in this early phase, she belonged to the avant-garde in Austria. Toward the end of the decade, she experimented with shaped Plexiglas parts, which she joined into idiosyncratic objects, as well as with textile and foam objects that she used in conjunction with her own body. From 1976 to 1978, she worked with Renate Bertlmann as the BC collective; with Karin Mack and Margot Pilz, she created the monumental photo series Wir über uns (1978–1981).
