“To mark the 75th anniversary of its re-founding in 1950, the Deutscher Künstlerbund is devoting itself to the highly topical subject of »gender equality«. The exhibition by the artist group »Venus Rebellion« kicks off with provocative, body-focused art. The seven female artists from three generations are united by an intense examination of gender identity and the exploration of the complex, often paradoxical conditions of femininity. The experience of one’s own body and the search for a self-determined, unobstructed view are central themes in their works.
They show images of female autonomy: of pleasure and pain, of power and creativity, of tenderness, connectednessand loss, of cycles and transformation. In a broad media spectrum of drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, video and installation, a haunting, thematically condensed atmosphere is created between the works, which appear quite differently among each other.” (Text excerpt from the press release by courtesy of Deutscher Künstlerbund e.V.)
