2/Marion Scharmann zeigt/shows “intrinsic oddity” Hella Berent, Margret Wibmer – publication

HELLA BERENT and MARGRET WIBMER explore relations between bodies, objects and spaces. Openness and a quiet oddity characterise the conceptual-poetic works of both artists, encouraging a reexamination of established culture-dependent conventions and norms. Thus, the two artistic positions juxtaposed in the exhibition “intrinsic oddity’ refer sensually and with ease to current issues such as feminism, (body)identity, and cultural affiliation.

Hella Berent and Margret Wibmer – ‘Intrinsic Oddity’ at LABOR in Cologne. Curated by Marion Scharmann. Opening during DC Open.

Hella Berent and Margret Wibmer explore relations between bodies, objects, and spaces. The conceptual-poetic works of both artists are characterized by openness and a quiet oddity. This encourages the rethinking of established culture-dependent conventions. Thus, sensually and with ease, the two juxtaposed artistic positions refer to current issues such as feminism, (body)identity, or cultural affiliation.
