Images of women? is a group exhibition of works by female artists from the UniCredit Bank Austria art collection. Through the mediums of photography, collage, painting and drawing the artists included in the exhibition analyse the objectification of the female body, the normativity of concepts like “beauty”, and socially determined, supposedly typical female role assignments, thus casting an individual light onto “woman” and forms of femaleness.
Curated by Veronika Rudorfer, artists in the exhibition include: VALIE EXPORT, Martha Jungwirth, Birgit Jürgenssen, Kiki Kogelnik, Friederike Pezold, Eva Schlegel, Gabi Trinkaus and Margot Pilz.
