Heidi Bucher. Metamorphoses

"Methamorphoses" sheds light on the multifaceted and at times poetic interplay of the covering and uncovering of bodies and architecture with ritual latex skinning, which exposes an embedding in both social and private power structures, while at the time subjecting them to mutability.

The retrospective features over 150 works, as well as previously unknown film and archive material that reveals the strong performative quality of her work. In the exhibition catalogue, Bucher will be questioned in the context of feminist and cross-media artistic practice in international art historiography on the basis of scholarly text contributions, source material on historical exhibition participations and artist relationships such as those with Anna Oppermann, Louise Bourgeois, and Maria Lassnig, her own poems and other previously unpublished texts.
