Anne Imhof

About

Anne Imhof is one of the most important contemporary artists of our time. She was honored with the prestigious Golden Lion at the 2017 Venice Biennale, and she has presented monolithic exhibitions of her work at renowned institutions worldwide. Solo exhibitions at MMK in Frankfurt am Main, Tate Modern in London, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris are testaments to her exceptional oeuvre. Imhof’s signature artistic expression is rooted in performance pieces, where casts of androgynous figures navigate the space with a captivating blend of impassive poise and elaborate choreography within an immersive audio-visual experience. This dynamic interplay, underscored by the inclusion of ubiquitous and iconic elements of fashion, photography, and an amalgamation of subculture and popular culture, creates an atmosphere reminiscent of post-apocalyptic isolation.

Within the austere confines of Kunsthaus Bregenz, Anne Imhof ushers in a compelling transformation. In this enigmatic creation, a paradox unfolds, taking the shape of both a barricade and a proscenium.

For the KUB exhibition, Imhof will focus on painting and sculpture, which form the crux of her artistic practice, mirroring the fluid evolution of her performative works. The human figure now assumes an allegorical presence, offering a heightened sense of Imhof’s trademark exploration of the human condition.
