Product Description
Archaeological Investigations With Uncertain Outcomes. In her conceptual drawings and multimedia installations Katrin Ströbel (born 1975 in Pforzheim; lives and works in Marseille Stuttgart and Rabat) questions the social and geopolitical realities of the present with a simultaneously playful and critical eye. Her archaeology of everyday life pursues the political as decidedly as modern representations of the female body or practices of cultural appropriation - but also focuses on more private spaces design objects and interiors such as the wallpaper in the studio of the Italian avant-garde artist Dadamaino. The astute negotiation of colonized bodies spaces and objects interspersed with cultural codes is reminiscent of Hanna Höch's early collages. Ströbel lends them her contemporary voice: from the design classic Eames to current gender images to compendia of modern art history the artist deconstructs Eurocentric culture with a critical-ironic gaze. The catalog offers an overview of works from 2016 to 2019. With accompanying texts by Julie Crenn Iris Dressler Sophie Orlando and Dorit Schäfer. show more
