Faktor X: Das Chromosom der Kunst

published on occasion of the 3rd Artists' Biennial, Haus der Kunst Munich, 29.7.- 24.9.2017

What roles play gender and other factors in the reception of art and its production? How does the chromosome of art make its presence felt? Some works explicitly portray the gender and the associated roles, and take a playful approach with these ascriptions. Others are more associative in their approach to the complex subject. An interest in physicality and identities is consistently present.

This book accompanies the exhibition and extends beyond it at the same time. It refers to the artistic-sociological, historical and media discourses related to the subject, and is therefore not an exhaustive documentation of the exhibited works, but rather establishes a dialogue with them as text and image components.

The project is a collaboration with curator Alex de Vries and artists from Holland.
