Summary:

Artist Rebecca Horn sees herself as an inventor, director, author, composer, poet, and, first and foremost, a choreographer. She uses the idea of embodiment and creates symbols to express the interconnectedness, at a technical and physical level, between her first works on paper in the 1960s, her early performances and films of the 1970s, her mechanical sculptures from the 1980s on, and the large-scale installations she embarked on in the 1990s. Horn repeatedly uses the language of dance as a medium and catalyst for her choreographic fictions. The catalogue shows a selection of her works spanning six decades and includes installation shots of her artworks in the exhibition, and unpublished historical images. Rebecca Horn, b. 1944, is one of the most important contemporary artists on the international scene by virtue of her transdisciplinary work. She has featured in numerous editions of documenta, the Venice Biennale, the Biennale of Sydney, the Tokyo Biennale, the São Paulo Biennale, and Carnegie International. Hendrik Folkerts is Curator of international contemporary art and Exhibition Director at Moderna Museet in Stockholm. Jack Halberstam is Director of the Institute for Research on Women, Gender and Sexuality at Columbia University. Jana Baumann is Senior Curator at Haus der Kunst in Munich. Nancy Spector is a Curator, who has held positions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Brooklyn Museum. Timothy Baum, expert on Dada and surrealism, was a companion and performer in Rebecca Horn's films. Exhibition: Haus der Kunst, Munich, Germany (26.04. - 13.10.2024).
