"Video Presentation and Talk by Berlin Artist Sarah Lüdemann, Monday, 3/25, 6:00pm, University Gallery (FAC 2nd floor). Free and open to the public. Light refreshments to be served.
Sarah
Lüdemann often uses her body and perceived identity to explore
psychological states, concepts of self, social roles, religious beliefs
and rituals and modes of perception and (re)presentation.
Dichotomies
of repetition and stillness, seduction and repulsion, destruction and
resurrection give birth to a poetic brutality in Lüdemann’s work. The
male/female continuum within her, with regards to social and biological
concepts drives Lüdemann to investigate power structures, sexual forces,
language as hierachical tool and the dynamics that shape our identities
and perceptions. Recently her research has been focused in relations
between religion, pornography and pop culture.
Sarah
Lüdemann finished an MA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins/Byam Shaw in
September 2011. In 2009 she was selected for an influential residency
with Mona Hatoum, and has been awarded the South Square Trust Award."
