- Talk in Berlin: Siri Hustvedt, Katharina Grosse in the context of the exhibition "Queensize - Female Artists from the Olbricht Collection" at me Collectors Room Berlin, moderated by Nicola Graef: www.me-berlin.com/queensize/
What roles do women have in the art world? How are they perceived and how do they perceive themselves? Do women take an active role in getting their work and their persona recognized or are they still underdogs in a man-dominated art world? Are there typical ‘feminine’ topics that female artists touch upon in their work? Can we even still talk about the idea of a feminine discourse today?
Siri Hustvedt:
American writer and essayist Siri Hustvedt researches in her new roman ‘The blazing world’ the role of women in the art world. She portrays the life and work of a fictional female artist in different perspectives. The writer has collaborated as an interviewer for the catalogue of the exhibition ‘Queensize - Female Artists from the Olbricht Collection’.
