ABOUT THE SHOW

The solo show “In The Feelings Of My Shadow” of Leda Bourgogne is a complex installation comprising paintings, installative elements and sound, evoking an atmosphere ranging between the gym, theater stage and BDSM studio. In her meticulously built objects Leda Bourgogne works with allusions of historical painting and assemblage techniques, moving between handicraft and found objects. The frame and canvas serve for her as a means of pointing out power relations and the contingency of identity constructions. In her work she thematizes the objecthood of the image, the surface and sharp edges of which are covered fetishistically with layers of torn fabrics, latex or nylon.

The exhibition is financially supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Leda Bourgogne (born 1989 in Vienna, lives and works in Berlin) completed her Studies in Fine Arts at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main in 2017. She is represented by BQ in Berlin where she debuted with her solo show “Skinless” in 2018. Her work is currently on view at Kai 10 Arthena Foundation´s “Body In Pieces”, Düsseldorf and in “Being Towards The World” at Sophie Tappeiner, Vienna. In march 2019 she hosted a one-night event at Pogo Bar KW, Berlin, comprising an elaborate sound-installation and live performance, of which elements will be applied in “In The Feelings Of My Shadow”. In 2018 she presented her work in a duo exhibition with Ida Ekblad at Kunstverein Braunschweig. She is nominated for this year’s Swiss Art Awards.
