Sichtbar. Verknüpft. Frei.

In the organizer's words:

100 years of GEDOK - 3 exhibition venues, 30 female artists, 1 resonance room

100 years of GEDOK stands for female creativity and 100 years of art by women. It is celebrating its anniversary with the cooperation project Visible. Linked. Free. at three exhibition venues in Munich with an interdisciplinary program. GEDOK consists of 23 regional groups throughout Germany.
The largest association of women artists in Europe has always been committed to the visibility, networking, solidarity and support of women artists. Today, women are better represented in institutions, yet they still earn significantly less than men and are underrepresented in museums and collections, in galleries, but also in magazines, textbooks and publishing houses, for example. What has actually changed in 100 years and how freely and independently do women artists work today?

In the art underpass, Ergül Cengiz is showing a memorial portrait of GEDOK founder Ida Dehmel, which she created together with artists from GEDOKmuc. The sculptor Olga Golos refers to the artist Eva Hesse in her installation, and Erika Kassnel-Henneberg shows a computer-generated video artwork that deals with transhumanism. In her homage to Joseph Beuys, Doro Seror refers to his work "Zeige Deine Wunde" (Show Your Wound), which was shown 50 years earlier at the same location, and combines it with an oversized motif of friendship.
Katrin Grote-Baker (Berlin) interprets Goethe's "Beherzigung" in a calligraphic-painterly translation, Nina Heinlein (Franconia) has a large-format fabric sculpture negotiate between past and future, while the duo Silke Kästner (Berlin) and Sabine Schlunk (Munich) explore the space performatively in an evolving material installation.
