INGE MAHN AND NORA SCHULZ
9 September - 12 November 2017
Curated by: Christina Lehnert
Curatorial Assistant: Nele Kaczmarek
Presented in this dual exhibition are the works of Inge Mahn and Nora Schultz, representing not only two different positions in sculpture but also two artist generations.
Whereas Inge Mahn explores common assumptions about everyday objects and offers a new view on the ordinary through her sculptures, Nora Schultz is concerned with the dematerialization of sculpture. Filmed by drones, the materiality of her works recedes into the background through this translation into film, causing the sculptural work to occupy an intermediary realm between the tangibly real and virtually visible.
Inge Mahn (*1943 in Teschen) studied art education at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where she graduated from the master class of Joseph Beuys in 1970. Two years later, Harald Szeemann invited her to take part in documenta 5. After working as a guest professor in the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and Braunschweig University of Art (HKB) from 1986 to 1988, she was Professor for Sculpture at the Stuttgart Academy of Fine Arts from 1987 to 1993. She then taught at the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin until 2009. Her works can be found in the collections of prominent museums, including the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum for Contemporary art in Berlin, Kunsthalle Helsinki, and Museum Kunstpalast Düsseldorf.
Nora Schultz (*1975 in Frankfurt am Main) studied at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main from 1998 to 2005. As a fellow of the Villa Romana she spent 2011 in Florence. Her works have been shown in international exhibitions at institutions including the Kölnischer Kunstverein (2009), Portikus Frankfurt (2012), and the Museum for Contemporary Art in Basel (2013). Since 2015 she has been teaching at Harvard University. In 2016 she was nominated for the Art Prize of the Böttcherstraße in Bremen.
