Against the backdrop of a detailed examination of gender relationships, the exhibition again raises questions about the construction of the concepts of body image and attributes of identity. The term 'post-feminism' in the subtitle does not aim to set boundaries to feminist concepts from the 1970s but to review them.
With Matthew Barney, Rineke Dijkstra, Tracey Emin, Mona Hatoum, Jonathan Horowitz, Sarah Jones, Mike Kelley, Karen Kilimnik, Sarah Lucas, Tracey Moffatt, Cady Noland, Catherine Opie, Pipilotti Rist, Daniela Rossell, Cindy Sherman, Ann-Sofi Sidén, Sam Taylor-Wood, Gillian Wearing, Sue Williams and Andrea Zittel.
Based on the observation that female artists were fairly well represented in exhibitions and on the art market of the 1990s, this show presents works by 20 artists (17 female artists and three male artists) who deal critically with body image as manifested in our society, as well as with the balance of power. This issue is also one of the main emphases of Ingvild Goetz's collection: “I want my collection to shake up people or draw their attention – not only in the political sense but also through very good, i.e. aesthetically good art.” The exhibition includes many photographs and video works that investigate and criticize the notion of the ideal body image found in the media.
The exhibition, curated by Rainald Schumacher (Sammlung Goetz) and Matthias Winzen (Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden), which will subsequently be shown in a modified form in the Sammlung Goetz exhibition building, was created in close collaboration with Ingvild Goetz. It not only reflects the profile of the collection, but also provides an insight into the collector's thinking.
