Mika Rottenberg. Queer Ecology
In our words:
Capitalism, consumption and existence in sculptures, installations and videos - important questions, presented in a super exciting way 👀
In the organizer's words:
Under the title "Queer Ecology", the exhibition focuses on the latest works by artist Mika Rottenberg, born in Buenos Aires in 1976. The works deal with the role of humans in the constantly growing system of global consumption. They show the absurdity of the excessive, capitalist production of goods and the precarious working conditions, especially of women, in a humorous, sometimes biting and sarcastic way.
With more than 30 works - sculptures, videos, walk-in installations, interactive works and her first feature film "REMOTE" (2022) - it is the most comprehensive international representative presentation of the artist of the last two decades to date. The new sculptures "Lampshares" made of organic materials and recycled plastic, with which she is realizing a production cycle in her studio for the first time, form the communicative focus of the exhibition, which is conceived by the artist especially for the Lehmbruck Museum. The exhibition unfolds in the form of a network with the themes of "work", "body" and "future". It establishes links to the main works "NoNoseKnows" (2015), "Cosmic Generator" (2017) and "Cheese" (2008). With this exhibition, the Lehmbruck Museum is initiating a cooperation with the "RuhrortPlus" model project, which is making an ambitious attempt to transform the Duisburg-Ruhrort district in an environmentally neutral way. With its theme, the exhibition is dedicated to an existential question of our time and deliberately leaves the confines of the museum.
