THE THINKING BODY, Cathy Josefowitz, KUNSTHAUS LANGENTHAL,

26. August 2021 – 14. November 2021

The Thinking Body, so far the largest exhibition of the work of Cathy Josefowitz (1956-2014), showcases the entire range of her artistic output, in which paintings and drawings enter into a dialogue with choreography. The body – in motion and in relation to other bodies – constitutes the core of her work. While Josefowitz’s extensive oeuvre was rarely exhibited during her lifetime, the cosmopolitan Swiss artist’s oeuvre now can be re-thought in the context of current discourses on figuration, gender, the body, Otherness, and identity.
