3rd Artists’ Biennial 29.07. – at Haus der Kunst 24.09.2017

Künstlerverbund im Haus der Kunst München e.V. 1 3rd Artists’ Biennial at Haus der Kunst 2017

Factor X - The Chromosome of Art

Welcome

The Biennial, like its predecessor, the Große Kunstausstellung (Great Art Exhibition) is among the major art events in our coun- try. As an exhibition curated by artists, it has a special position, being independent of the conventions of the art market and allowing a view from outside onto its structures and rules.

This is especially true this year, where the question has been posed of what makes the status of an artwork and, accordingly, its price. It is statistically proven that artworks created by women are less valued monetarily than those of men. Some- times labels such as “student of” or “studied in” help to confer a particular attraction to an artist. At the 3rd Artists’ Biennial, how- ever, a largely anonymous presentation of the artworks enables an unbiased view of the mechanics of the art market.

I am very pleased that the Biennial once again broadens its horizon by cooperating with foreign guests. The Netherlands are considered traditionally as a country open for the new, where prejudices play a minor role and artistic freedom can flourish. It will be exiting to see in how far this will be confirmed in the light of the questions posed in this project.

I heartily welcome our Dutch guests to Munich and thank the Künstlerverbund (Artists’ Association) in the Haus der Kunst and all involved for their commitment. And for the visitors to the Biennial, I wish interesting and moving insights into the world of the artists and art.

Horst Seehofer Minister President of and Patron of the Exhibition

2 Introduction

This exhibition invites visitors to reflect on factors which play a role in art and influence how it is perceived and valued. Is the gender of the artist also a factor? How does the chromosome of art make its presence felt?

This question can be combined with a current occasion: 2017 sees the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Haus der Kunst, as well as the first Große Deutsche Kunstausstellung (Great German Art Exhibition). At that time no female artists were included at all.

Despite debates in recent decades, the issue of gender and the arts still seems to be relevant. What significance do genres, materials and techniques have in the attribution of maleness and femaleness? The experience of a work is usually disputed by the gender codes of its authorship.

This exhibition brings the viewer in a tête-à-tête encounter with the work of art and its sensual, physical presence. Some works explicitly portray a particular gender and its associated roles and take a playful approach with ascriptions, idealised images and maskings. Others are more associative in their approach to the issues. An interest in physicality and identity is consistently present.

The biennale welcomes special guest artists from the Netherlands, curated by Alex de Vries.

In the X-Y Box, an experimental, freestanding wall installation featuring open cubes, artists from the Künstlerverbund (Artists’ Association) present their positions on the topic of the biennale Faktor X – das Chromosom der Kunst (Factor X - The Chromo- some of Art).

This short guide supplements a larger exhibition publication with essays and images published by Revolver Publishing.

22 The X-Y Box, a project by Anna Frydman and An- dreas Rumland, brings together works by various members of the Künstlerverbund (Artists’ Associa- tion) which – adapted to the formal framework of a shadow box system – complement the exhibition theme Factor X – The Chromosome of Art through a wide variety of artistic approaches and also dissociations. The notion of conceptual freedom within the stipulation of the framework offers an opportunity to push the interpretation of feminine and masculine authorship to the background, and to see the cooperation and intermingling of the ex- ponents as a loosening of role-specific attribution. Each artist must work within the dimension of the box, 50 x 50 x 45 cm.
