The first presentation at Badischer Kunstverein in 2025 continues the series of exhibitions focusing on female artists from the field of Concrete Poetry. Following projects on Lily Greenham (2024) and Ilse Garnier (2023), Badischer Kunstverein shows the work of the artist and poet Lenora de Barros (*1953 in São Paulo) for the first time in Germany. She is a representative of Brazilian Concrete Poetry, whose beginnings can be traced to the Gruppe Noigandres in São Paulo in 1952. In Brazil, this movement, which is largely independent of the European context, is known as Arte Concreta.
Lenora de Barros is an artist who comes from the generation following the Noigandres and is strongly influenced by them. Her works are characterized by an intimate interplay between the body, language and the self, and in particular by (post) feminist concerns. Other elements of her work include Conceptual Art, Pop Art and Fluxus.
