Eröffnung: „Beverly Buchanan. Weathering“

The exhibition is the first show of works by the artist Beverly Buchanan (*1940, Fuquay, North Carolina, †2015, Ann Arbor, Michigan) in Germany and offers a comprehensive insight into her diverse oeuvre. It brings together works from all creative phases, from early series on canvas and paper, which address the increasing gentrification of New York in the 1970s, to critically humorous writings and artist books. In later works, Buchanan reflects the characteristic architecture and building styles of the rural Southeast of the United States - often through interventions in the landscape or sensitive miniature replicas. Drawing on an intense exploration of themes such as gender, memory and class, her work highlights how architecture is always in close exchange with structural issues, while celebrating the power and beauty of the provisional, which she opposes to the mechanisms of oppression.
