Mis(s)treated. Mehr als Deine Muse!
In the organizer's words:
In its new exhibition, the New Perceptions youth curatorship, together with curators from the Kunsthalle, is devoting itself to the topic of the representation of women in art. It focuses in particular on feminist positions. The focus is on works from the collection of the Kunsthalle Bremen, complemented by selected loans of contemporary art.
In 1989, the feminist artist group Guerrilla Girls posed the question with posters hung in New York: "Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?" And added: "Less than 5% of the artists in the modern department are women, but 85% of the nudes are female." In their poster campaign, which became legendary, the group drew attention to the fact that although women* are a popular motif in Western art history, only a few female positions are exhibited in museums, galleries and art institutions. 35 years later, the situation has only partially changed. A disproportion is also evident in the collection of the Kunsthalle Bremen. The exhibition "Mis(s)treated" is therefore dedicated to the topic of the representation of women, including non-white women in art.
With works by: Christa Baumgärtel, Vivien Bendlin, Charlotte Berend-Corinth, Mary Cassatt, Elif Çelik, Talia Chetrit, Camille Claudel, Valie EXPORT, Nan Goldin, Eva Gonzalès, Hannah Höch, Käthe Kollwitz, Marie Laurencin, Margit Manz, MATERNAL FANTASIES, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Gabriele Münter, Shirin Neshat, Fatma Özay, Yoko Ono, Natalie Paneng, Clara Rilke-Westhoff, Ulrike Rosenbach, Razan Sabbagh, Sarah Ancelle Schönfeld, Ngozi Ajah Schommers, Cindy Sherman, Floria Sigismondi, Taryn Simon, Sibylle Springer, Gabriele Stötzer, Hana Usui, Suzanne Valadon, Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun, Carrie Mae Weems
The exhibition is curated by the Kunsthalle New Perceptions youth curatorship. It is the second exhibition following the highly acclaimed presentation "Generation*. Youth despite the crisis" (2023). The group meets every week at the museum and works with the Kunsthalle team to find new ways to get more young people interested in art and the museum.
