Starting with the positions of the 1970s such as Sanja Iveković, Ulrike Rosenbach and Annegret Soltau and Viennese Actionism with Günter Brus, through the immersive exploration of Georg Herold to the latest self-portraits by Louisa Clement and the latest installation by Anouk Lamm Anouk - ‘MOTHER’ brings together perspectives from artists of different generations.
The result is a tableau of fragile beauty that thematises motherhood as a radical physical and emotional experience as well as questioning the social and political demands of motherhood and parenthood and presenting new forms of family relationships. Hardly any other social task is scrutinised, commented on and judged as critically as the relationship between parents and their children, and for women in particular there seems to be no space between raven mother and tradwife.
