Maria Lassnig - The Location of Pictures - Neue Galerie Graz 2012
Maria Lassnig's art reveals a basic problem every person is confronted with: the question of the picture, of the visual at a fundamental level. The visible world can only partially be definded as a location of the visual. More essential in Maria Lassnig's work seems the awareness that the human body represents a medium that generates pictures. 'Endogenous pictures', which arise from within a human (images generated by memory of dreams etc.), are also the subject of visual studies. When seen from this angle, remarkable insights are won from Maria Lassnig's oeuvre. Her work thus becomes an applied critique of the image. The question of the location of the picture or of the visual is posed here with particular urgency.
Including a DVD with two of the artist's films.
