You are warmly invited to our summer party and the opening of the exhibition of B. INGRID OLSON „A Feminine Thought“ on Friday, June 20, 2025, at 7 pm.
„A Feminine Thought“ is the first institutional exhibition in Germany of the American artist B. INGRID OLSON (*1987 in Denver, lives and works in Chicago) and responds to the unique circular architecture in the ground floor of Villa Salve Hospes. „A Feminine Thought“ shares its title with the sole large-scale work presented in the exhibition, which was created through Olson’s engagement with the idea and concept of the “Gesamtkunstwerk”.
The exhibition title refers to a work by Dieter Roth: „Ein weiblicher Gedanke I & II“ (1971), an edition of two prints depicting a woman as a table.
In her exhibition, the artist explores the objectification and reification of the female body by not controlling the spatial situation in the Kunstverein but approaching it sensorially and from a psychological perspective.
