Edited by Niedersächsische Sparkassenstiftung and the state of Lower Saxony in collaboration with Kunstverein Göttingen and Städtische Galerie Nordham.
With texts by Berenice Güttler, Dr. Gabriele Heinen-Kljajić, Sebastian Körbs, Dr. Thomas Niemeyer, Prof. Dr. Annette Tietenberg and Helmut Wenzel.
Berenice Güttler’s practice stems from experiences as a trained seamstress, from which the artist extends the use of textile materials from enveloping pieces of clothing to beyond the body – to the point of absurdity. Fitting illustrates just how the artist has changed material to painting, sculpture and performance, and how a traditional approach to clothing is disturbed through supposed violations of the rules.
“Berenice Güttler’s vocation is the mantle that extends around the body, surrounds it, caresses it, protects it, yields it to its pressure, registers the traces of its expansion or exerts pressure upon it, presses it into prescribed forms and makes it less receptive to outer influences through a layer of armour.” (Prof. Dr. Annette Tietenberg)
On occasion of the New York-Stipend 2016, this book is presented by the Niedersächsischen Sparkassenstiftung and the lower state of Saxony in association with the Kunstverein Göttingen and Städtische Galerie Nordham.
