In the Studio Liliane Lijn, London
Where to meet art, culture and creativity
The German artist duo Anna and Bernhard Blume are internationally renowned for their black and white photographs. The duo staged performative actions and captured them on camera. Most are bizarrely arranged domestic scenes. The two artists are the performers themselves, she with a perm, wig, and a neat dress, he in a small checked suit and hat. With irony and humor, the Blumes counteract gender patterns, roles, and clichés as well as bourgeois codes of behavior.
The exhibition Mapping the 60s is based on the thought that substantial sociopolitical movements of the twenty-first century have their roots in the 1960s. Black Lives Matter and #MeToo, for example, have built on the anti-racist and feminist upheavals of yesteryear—as have current debates on war, mass media and mechanization, consumerism, and capitalism.
