A long-overdue survey of the artist who challenges state repression through rebellious feminist works of performance, poetry, film and beyond For more than five decades, Gabriele Stötzer (born 1953) has been grappling with questions of justice, gender and self-determination. Her own body often plays a central role in her work, figuring as a site of resistance and feminist self-assertion. After Wolf Biermann's expatriation in 1976, Stötzer served a one-year prison sentence and then made a conscious decision to remain in the GDR. Many of her works formulate radical counter-concepts to state repression and control by pushing boundaries through experimentation and making space for vulnerability. This volume accompanies the artist's largest institutional solo exhibition to date. Featuring around 150 works, it highlights the diversity of her oeuvre, encompassing painting, literature, photography, textile art, Super 8 film, performance and public interventions, and intends to catalyze--with the aid of of scholarly texts and an interview with Stötzer--the broader recognition of this groundbreaking artist.
