BEAUTY ON THE EDGE
Martina Claussen

Kerstin Skringer

Artist Talk & Performance
Saturday, 21.9.2024, 19h

Exhibition runs until 19.10.2024

The artists Martina Claussen (electro-acoustic sound installation), Kerstin Skringer (painting) and Stefanie Sixt (video / initiator) are creating an audiovisual installation in which they explore the boundaries of the concept of beauty. Their positions range from the subjective categorisation of socially determined expectations to moments of memory that are retrospectively rewritten.
In the joint creative process of the artist colleagues, works are inspired on the one hand by the discourse on content and on the other hand by the exchange of objects or audio as a starting point for artistic processing. Recorded conversations become part of the sound, noises inspire the film and vice versa. Among other things, attributes of the artificial beauty industry such as lipstick and implants become motifs or material. In this way, the collective influences each other in order to sharpen their independent positions in the further process.
