COLLAGE ON VIEW
Marion Baruch: Décalage
at the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig, Germany
30 November 2021-28 January 2022
“Décalage” is the first comprehensive presentation of the artistic practice of the Jewish-Romanian artist Marion Baruch to the German-speaking world. The work of the now 92-year-old artist, who lives in Italy, is characterized by deviations as well as repeated aesthetic shifts and, thanks to the efforts of Noah Stolz (Baruch’s curator and collaborator), has been known to an international audience for many years. The exhibition focuses on her latest sculptures for which she collected textile waste from the prêt-à-porter industry as well as related objects from the late 1960s that lean towards design. In addition, the exhibition introduces her 1990s avant-garde internet works, as well as the participatory projects realized later. These are works in which feminism and migration—against the background of “hospitality”—surface as central and recurring themes for the artist.
The exhibition was curated by Ilse Lafer and Noah Stolz and realized with the kind support of Dana Diminescu and in cooperation with the SUPPORT-office of the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig.
