Abstract:
„Nicole Eisenman. What Happened“ versammelt rund 100 Arbeiten der Künstlerin von 1992 bis heute und blickt damit erstmals auf die gesamte Bandbreite des drei Dekaden umfassenden malerischen und bildhauerischen Werks. Ein Werk, das auf anarchische Art stets vermag, Hommage und zugleich Kritik an seinem eigenen Sujet zu sein, und dessen Relevanz kunsthistorisch und gesellschaftlich, politisch und zutiefst menschlich ist. Whitechapel Gallery presents What Happened, the first UK survey exhibition of American artist Nicole Eisenman (b. 1965, France). A leading protagonist of the New York art scene since the 1990s, her critical, highly imaginative and often humorous work offers a commentary on the ever-changing nature of public life. While addressing political power structures and challenging normative conceptions of gender, Eisenman draws on a variety of sources, from Renaissance masterpieces to socialist murals of the 1930s and contemporary underground comics. Approximately 100 paintings, drawings and sculptures dating from 1992 to the present day will be presented across Whitechapel Gallery’s spaces. The exhibition is divided into eight chronological and thematic chapters including sections on lesbian communities in the 1990s, the life of the artist, technology, and American politics during the Trump years. A catalogue accompanying the exhibition includes contributions by artists and scholars who have collaborated with Eisenman – Jadine Collingwood, Britta Peters, Ann Philbin, Helena Reckitt, Joe Scotland, A.L. Steiner, Nicola Tyson – as well as essays by the curators. The exhibition is co-organised by Whitechapel Gallery and Museum Brandhorst and curated by Monika Bayer-Wermuth and Mark Godfrey. In spring 2024 it will tour to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago.
