Kevin Jerome Everson: Recover
The artist Kevin Jerome Everson (*1965 Mansfield, lives in Charlottesville) is one of the most renowned experimental filmmakers of our time. The immediate proximity to the filmed persons, who belong to different African-American living and working worlds, characterizes the artist’s long-standing work. The artist’s solo exhibition is presented on the spacious first floor of the HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark and provides an overview of the artist’s many years of work.
Doreen Garner: Steal, Kill and Destroy: A Thief Who Intended Them Maximum Harm
The sculptures and performances of Doreen Garner explore the history of medical experiments on and the systematic exploitation of black bodies in America. By critically assessing specific historical events and phenomena from cultural history, Garner shows the problematic relations between medicine and race, which persist to this day. The artist’s figurative works consist of materials such as silicon, glass-fiber insulation, plastic, Vaseline, artificial hair, crystals and pearls, and they resemble fragmented or even amputated body parts and human remains. In her first institutional exhibition in Europe, Steal, Kill and Destroy: A Thief Who Intended Them Maximum Harm, Garner presents three objects, including a new work commissioned specially for this show.
