FOCUS ON FEMINIST AVANT-GARDE
In order to emphasise the pioneering work done by the female artists of the 1970s, Gabriele Schor coined the term “Feminist Avant-Garde”. This focal point encompasses almost 600 artworks by 81 artists. They make a theme of their bodies, question the diktat of beauty, and deal with the construct of female identities. Since 2010, the exhibition of the same name has toured to 15 cities in Europe and has been on display in venues including the Centre de Cultura Contemporánia in Barcelona, the Centre for Art and Media in Karlsruhe and in the Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation, Vienna.
FOCUS ON THE PERCEPTION OF SPACES AND PLACES
The focal point “Perception of spaces and places” creates links between groups of works that deal with spatial phenomena. It includes works by Bernd and Hilla Becher, Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, Joachim Koester, Louise Lawler, Gordon Matta-Clark, Fred Sandback, and Jeff Wall.
The permanent intervention Yellow Fog by Olafur Eliasson (German only) on the façade of the VERBUND building also belongs to this focal point and can be seen daily at sunset.
