„Lynn Hershman Leeson: Are Our Eyes Targets?” ist die erste Einzelausstellung der renommierten amerikanischen Künstlerin und Medienpionierin Lynn Hershman Leeson in Düsseldorf. Die Ausstellung, in deren Mittelpunkt die groß angelegte Sechskanal-Videoinstallation The Electronic Diaries of Lynn Hershman Leeson 1984–2019 (1984–2019) steht, hinterfragt Konstruktionen von Wahrheit durch Selbstreflexion und den vermittelnden Charakter von Bildern.

Die Ausstellung versammelt interaktive oder Mixed-Media-Installationen sowie Fotografien, die unser Bewusstsein für die Gewalt des eigenen Blicks weiter schärfen. Was bedeutet es, etwas oder jemanden anzuschauen und dabei selbst beobachtet zu werden? MEHR

Gruppenausstellung in Düsseldorf: DIGITAL DIARIES

Die Julia Stoschek Foundation präsentiert in Düsseldorf eine Gruppenausstellung mit Arbeiten von zwölf Künstler*innen sowie eines Kollektivs, die sich allesamt mit Formen der persönlichen Aufzeichnung in unterschiedlichen Medien seit den 1970er-Jahren auseinandersetzen.

Die in „Digital Diaries“ vertretenen Künstler*innen schaffen mit ihren Arbeiten Raum für die eigenen intimen, in ihrem spezifischen sozialen Kontext auftretenden Erfahrungen: sei es in Form von Selbstporträts und Home-Videos oder durch das Veröffentlichen privater Nachrichten vom Handy oder aus Chatrooms. Mit diesen Arbeiten zeichnen sie ihren Alltag auf – wie profan oder alltäglich dieser auch immer zu sein scheint – und fordern ein, diese alltäglichen Beobachtungen in einen größeren, politischen Kontext zu setzen. MEHR

Alex Ayed, Sophie Calle, Rindon Johnson, Kristin Lucas, Sarah Lucas, Jota Mombaça, Hannah Perry, Frances Stark, Martine Syms, Wolfgang Tillmans, Tromarama, Hannah Wilke

“Lynn Hershman Leeson: Are Our Eyes Targets?” is the first solo exhibition by the renowned artist and media pioneer in Düsseldorf, and the first presentation of Hershman Leeson’s work as part of the Julia Stoschek Collection. Centered around the epic six-channel video installation The Electronic Diaries of Lynn Hershman Leeson 1984–2019 (1984–2019), the exhibition examines constructs of truth through self-reflection and the mediated image.

In addition, the exhibition brings together interactive and mixed-media installations as well as photo collages and videos that draw our awareness to the violence of our own gaze. What does it mean to look at something or someone and be watched in return? MORE

Group exhibition in Düsseldorf: DIGITAL DIARIES

The Julia Stoschek Foundation presents a group exhibition in Düsseldorf with works by twelve artists and one collective that examine the use and transformation of diaries in video and other technologies of representation from the 1970s onward.

The exhibition gathers work by artists of different generations that have employed imaging technologies to center themselves, their personal relationships, and their emotional experiences in their work. From self-portraiture and home videos to private phone messages and chatroom conversations made public, the artists in “Digital Diaries” carve a space for their intimate and situated experiences. 

In these works, they keep a record of their daily lives while simultaneously making the claim that even if these seem like mundane or quotidian subjects, they can be seen through larger political lens. MORE
