Anna McCarthy: What Are People For?

What Are People For? is British artist Anna McCarthy's first institutional solo-show in Germany. McCarthy's artistic practice is defined by humor, a razor-sharp intellect and a comprehensive interest in sociopolitical topics, which she reacts to within a multimedial and interdisciplinary practice. Through drawing, painting, installation, music, video, performance and poetry she develops a distinct artistic language, which is playful as well as journalistic. McCarthy weaves personal stories, fictive narratives and an intuitive research approach into actual political, cultural, ecological and social changes of our time, resulting in a very own system of reference.
