n.b.k. Exhibitions Vol. 6 – Asta Gröting
This publication emerged in cooperation with Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz and provides a comprehensive overview of Asta Gröting’s oeuvre from 1981 to today. In an essay by Stella Rollig, continuities and breaks in Gröting’s sculptural and film work are sketched out. Her sculptures have received international recognition ever since the 1980s. As of the 1990s, her work expanded in terms of media by way of video and performance. In the block of film works The Inner Voice (1993–2004), Gröting developed a series of videos with ventriloquists around the world. At the foreground of this study are everyday psychosocial actions as artistic material, in contrast to the materiality of the sculptures. To that extent, Gröting’s sculptures possess a social dimension by engaging with their physicality in an expanded debate about developments that take place in the field of tension between self and the community.
The book was published on the occasion of the exhibition Asta Gröting.
The publication can be purchased at local bookshops, via the website of Buchhandlung Walther König, and at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein. Members of Neuer Berliner Kunstverein can buy the book at n.b.k. for the special price of 15.00 Euro.
