Isa Genzken






''Her work concentrates on the ways in which the reality that surrounds and shapes us operate: architecture, design, advertising, media, socio- political themes and fields of tension linked with them, tensions between private and public, permeable and hermetic, subjective and objective.Genzken always formulates the work of art as an autonomous unit. It cannot become a mere object, and certainly not an escapist object, because it confronts us with individuality, but also with subjectivity and even intimacy, as realities. Thus the relationships, conditions and effects that make up our view of the art object itself, our view of general and social reality, are open to question.''
