The exhibition ›Female Perspectives‹ brings together ten female artistic positions and presents a range of contemporary modes of expression. In addition to artists who have been represented in the gallery's program for many years, Galerie Lachenmann Art is also showing the works of several artists for the first time.

Yvonne Andreini, Katrin Kampmann, Agnes Lammert, Ji Eun Lee, Valentina Murabito, Justine Otto, Angelika Platen, Stefanie Scheurell, Sandra Schlipkoeter and Miriam Vlaming occupy the gallery's basement in a comprehensive presentation showcasing the diversity of contemporary female art.

›Female Perspectives‹ aims to provide insight into the breadth, quality, and authority of female artists, comparing them and examining their unique characteristics. Particular attention is paid to the diverse means of expression and media employed by the participants.

Alongside the classic medium of canvas painting, the exhibition unites photography, sculpture, and freestanding canvas works, which, in their dialogue, address a wide range of themes. In its exploration of democracy in the art world and the equality of women in the art market, ›Female Perspectives‹ joins this discourse, which must continue into the twenty-first century. With this exhibition, we invite you on a journey.

Starting with the paintings by Yvonne Andreini, in which the artist plays with the contrasts between drawing and painting, sense and sensibility, to the sculptural paintings and watercolors by Katrin Kampmann, who explore popular culture and its icons in her typical and very characteristic colorful style.

Agnes Lammert's sculptures, hanging freely or standing on the floor, convey materiality and lightness and enter into dialogue with Ji Eun Lee's hanging sculptures, where the structure created by filling the empty spaces between the willow branches is the main focus.

Valentina Murabito's analog photographs position themselves along this path of sculptures and paintings, with each photograph being unique, fixed on unconventional materials such as brick, bronze and wood, and where reality is staged and reworked through the alteration of the surfaces.

From a distance, Justine Otto's powerful portraits appear surprisingly mimetic, but upon closer inspection reveal themselves to be abstractly fractured by drastic and wild colored brushstrokes.

In contrast, there are the photographic, black and white artist portraits by Angelika Platen, which celebrate and immortalize famous and in this case exclusively female artists, including Marina Abramovic or Katharina Grosse as well as Miriam Vlaming, who is also represented in this exhibition with a portrait that is permeated by an ambiguous and mysterious aura, which characterizes most of her works and confronts the viewer with the perception of her reality.

Our journey ends with the artworks of Sandra Schlipkoeter and Stefanie Scheurell: While Sandra Schlipkoeter interacts with the viewer and the gallery space by transferring her interferences of waves and lines from the confines of the canvas to the surrounding walls, Stefanie Scheurell – whose work was shown by us in Frankfurt for the first time at the beginning of the year – destroys and alters the advertising material that forms the starting point for her artistic work.

The exhibition "Female Perspectives" aims to actively promote the balance in the representation of female artists on an international level and the female perspective in artistic creation, to highlight the intellectual and artistic achievements of these ten artists and, last but not least, to acknowledge and celebrate their results.
