Charlotte Posenenske (1930 – 1985) was a German artist who, in her work, explored the relationship between art, mass production and industrialisation. Posenenske produced art for a short period of time and stopped creating anything after 1968 because she no longer believed that art could change the social inequalities she saw in society. In hindsight, her work has been acquired by a number of museums and institutions worldwide, and she is regarded as a pioneer within minimalism.
With this, we are inviting you to a mini-seminar on Charlotte Posenenske, which we have called the backdrop, as the currents of the time and the underlying aspects of her artistic practice will be examined. Why has this body of work become so influential, and are there any parallels that can be drawn to today?
The program is being updated.
