Description: Dusseldorf / Koln, Kunstahalle Dusseldorf / Buchhandlung Walther Konig, 2023. Softcover. Quarto. Softcover. Illustrated wraps in a pink plastic jacket. 119 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 31 cm. Questions about bodily self-determination and self-realization, which began with the sexual liberation movement in the 1960s, dominate the current scientific and political discourse as well as daily life in our society. In recent decades, conventional notions of how bodies should look, behave, or be represented have become increasingly flexible and fluid. Today, digital and social media are also giving rise to new normative notions of bodies that affect our self-image as well as our perception of others around us. Artists are also experimenting with an artificial self with mutable bodies that can take on a wide range of forms in an associative and unhindered manner. The catalogue features works by three artists born in the 1980s in what are generally considered the traditional media of painting, sculpture, and photography. In the conceptual space created by three loosely linked solo exhibitions, the individual becomes physically and mentally what they potentially represent or could be. On the visual level, the relationship between real physicality and the abstract psyche is taken up and varied as a motif.
