The exhibition Rebecca Horn is focused on performativity, from the artist’s earliest works to her most recent productions. Horn uses the idea of incorporation to create corporeal interconnectedness, from the first works on paper in the 1960s and the early performances and films of the 1970s, through to the mechanical sculptures of the 1980s and the spacial installations of the 1990s to the present. Virtuously interwoven references to literature, art history, and film run throughout her body of work. Horn’s practice is a lifelong and topical exploration in the decentralisation of humanity.
As the closing event of her six-decade retrospective, Haus der Kunst is dedicating a one-day international symposium to Rebecca Horn’s transmedia oeuvre. Through panel discussions, conversations, and film screenings, the versatility of Horn’s work will be discussed from new perspectives. Internationally renowned voices will address the interrelated themes of embodiment, technology, dance, and choreography from contemporary post-human, performative, and art historical perspectives. Participation in the symposium is free of charge. No registration is required.
