| Inhalte | Why is there such a strong return of surrealist imagery in contemporary art? A boom of new exhibitions moves women Surrealists, such as Meret Oppenheim, Eileen Agar, Lenor Fini, Toyen, and Claude Cahun, into the center of attention. The current Venice Biennial “The Milk of Dreams" takes inspiration from Leonora Carrington’s magical tales. Central to female Surrealism is the hybridization of female subjects with animals and plants, preconfiguring tropes of post-humanism and critical ecology. Today, young painters like Stanislava Kovalcikova, Agata Słowak, or Christina Quarles reinvest into the language of Surrealism in surprising ways. Anke Kempkes (*1968) is an international curator, scholar and art critic based in Switzerland specialized in feminist and performance-art history, avant-garde and queer theory. In 2004, she held the position of Chief Curator at Kunsthalle Basel, CH. From 2005–2017, she ran an independent curatorial space, research centre and gallery in New York dedicated to Female Avant-Garde. In 2021-22, she held the position of Director of Instituto Susch and Curator at Large at Art Stations Foundation / Muzeum Susch, CH. |
