Under the title Goldrausch 2023 – on the edge of, the 15 participants of the Goldrausch artists’ project show excerpts from their current production. On display are conceptual photography, analogue and digital experimental film, painting and drawing, performance, sound, sculpture and installation. The artists’ themes and concepts include man-made changes in our environment, the breaking up of linear narratives and of traditional visual worlds and stereotypes. They explore the boundaries – edges – of the media they work with and reveal transformation processes and transitions along supposed dividing lines.
Along these edges, the exhibits invite reflection on social or ecological changes, just as they encourage us to question existing systems and develop potentials for transformation.
The Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt is a one-year professionalisation course that promotes outstanding artistic positions by women*.
During the course year, the scholarship holders pursue their professional development in solidarity and collective concentration and at the same time bring the results they have achieved to the public. Since 1989, the renowned professional development project, which is unique in Germany, has supported female visual artists in developing individual career paths and presenting their work to an audience.
To participate in the Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt, a jury of experts selected
15 women artists from different countries and continents: Anja Dornieden, Viviana Druga, Ximena Ferrer Pizarro, Janne Höltermann, Tiziana Krüger, Daniela Medina Poch, Lillian Morrissey, Shira Orion, Amelie Plümpe, Wagehe Raufi, Marie Rief, Hara Shin, Bea Targosz, Emma Wilson, Silja Yvette.
