“Following on from the titular work The Bad Mother by Louise Bourgeois, the group exhibition artistically explores the expectations placed on motherhood. With mothers who are too selfish, too sexy, too self-sacrificing, too „motherly“. With mothers who do not fulfill their own expectations and whose life reality is a continuum between self-sacrifice and self-assertion. The exhibition brings together works beyond the clichéd image of family happiness and the eternally mildly smiling mother as is still prevalent not only in depictions of the supermother Mary, but also in social media images.” (Excerpt from the press release by courtesy of HaL & Katharina Schilling)
