With a new exhibition, the Gunzenhauser Art Museum in Chemnitz explores the connections between food and gender roles. “Serving Gender,” as the show is titled, is “a feminist look beyond the plate,” explains curator Pauline Tigges.
According to the museum, the exhibition features artworks from the 17th century to the present day, including paintings, photography, prints, textile art, and video works. These include Martha Rosler’s video work “Semiotics of the Kitchen,” the 1852 oil painting “Die Traubenspenderin” by Adolf Friedrich Georg Wichmann, and Sophia Süßmilch’s 15-minute video loop “Mutterliebe.”
