Where Are We Now: Artist Talk mit Kirsi Mikkola

In the organizer's words:

As part of DC OPEN, we cordially invite you to an artist talk at the Philara Collection.

The curators of the exhibition, Linda Peitz and Florian Peters-Messer, will talk to the artist Kirsi Mikkola about her apprenticeship, her anger with the system, her time out, her works and how her works fit into the exhibition concept. Kirsi Mikkola (*1959 in Helsinki), who lives in Berlin, is one of Finland's best-known artists. She became known in the 1990s for her colorful, caricature-like sculptures. Among other things, she was a professor of painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Amako Boafo and Alexander Basil, who are also represented in the exhibition, studied in her class. In recent years, their artistic practice has changed radically. Their new works, which combine painting and collage, negotiate dissonant energies and abstract concepts such as gravity, weightlessness and movement.
