Marta Kuhn-Weber (1903-1990) was extravagant, self-confident and headstrong. She did not accept boundaries - neither in her thinking nor in her art. After working in Berlin, Freiburg and Basel, she moved to Paris in the mid-1960s. The fact that she was a master of staging is evident in her photographic and painterly self-portraits as well as in her large dolls, which thematize gender attribution, sexuality and social roles. She was inspired by literature, theater, show business and the queer scene of the 1960s/70s. Today, Marta Kuhn-Weber stands for a new type of artist: independent, keen to experiment and unimpressed by the judgments of others. And the Museum für Neue Kunst is also breaking new ground with Marta: an AI intervention by artist Boris Eldagsen and cinematic animations by puppeteer Vanessa Valk bring the dolls in the exhibition to life.
