Leiblicher Logos - 14 women artists from Germany

This exhibition titled Embodied Logos had been travelled all around the world since 1996, has shown the aspect of contemporary German art by women. In Asia, the museum of four cities have chance to introduce this exhibition by supporting IFA and Goethe Institute, so Artsonje Museum can show the works of 14 women artists from Germany with China and Japan. The artists Dagmar Demming, Elke Denda, Maria Eichhorn, Katharina Fritsch, Isa Genzken, Asta Gr ting, Rebecca Horn, Katharina Karrenberg, Karin Sander, Wiebke Siem, Pia Stadtb umer, Rosemarie Trockel, Ute Weiss-Leder and Qin Yufen are participating in this exhibition with international activities. Traditionally, the art as like painting and needlework was considered as desirable feminine "activities" and "hobbies" in both the West and East. So women and art are allowed to exist in society serving nicely to embellish it.

They share the same experience in this point. Both art and women belong to the realm of the sensitivity and have been judged to be inferior to the Logos which has been regarded as the character of men. The concept of Embodied Logos is that the Logos(discourse) and the sensuous(body) can make the horizontal interconnections escaping from its binary structure. This exhibiton also wants to realign the old hierarchy of the sensitivity and to acquire its new status. Therefore the exhibition Embodied Logos-14 Women Artist from Germany provides an opportuniy to investigate the nature of women's art. Because it largely focuses on the female sensual language of art, we expect to offer a specific view of feminism in contemporary German art.
