Join us in the closing event of the exhibition THE FEMALE GAZE in German Contemporary Painting and Sculpture on the last day of the exhibition on May 13, 2023 (Sat) from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM in the Goethe-Gallery and the Black Box Studio!
Dr. Almuth Meyer-Zollitsch, Director of Goethe-Institut Hongkong and the curator of the exhibition THE FEMALE GAZE, will be present to share the concept behind the exhibition, and will take visitors on an art journey full of female gazes. The guided tour will be conducted in English and will last for about 45 minutes. Admission is free and registration is required.
"With this exhibition we also celebrate a special anniversary: 60 years of activity of the Goethe-Institut in Hong Kong," remarked Dr. Almuth Meyer-Zollitsch, Director of Goethe-Institut Hongkong and the curator of THE FEMALE GAZE. "When I began to research about female positions in German contemporary art, I soon came across the MalerinnenNetzWerk Berlin-Leipzig, an association of 29 women painters. Together with Tanja Selzer, artist and coordinator of the network, a journey began and finally reached its destination with the opening of the exhibition at the Goethe-Gallery and Black Box Studio." "In addition to the selected female painters, I invited the sculptress Laura Eckert, whose heads and busts created from found wood impressed me deeply with their intense physical/ spatial presence."
Art Catalogues
Exclusive copies of art catalogues from the artists of THE FEMALE GAZE will be given out to the participants who are studying art or are interested in German contemporary painting and sculpture. Grasp your chance at the guided tour on May 13 (Sat)!
Your own (Fe)male Gaze?
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Goethe-Institut Hongkong, we have produced a limited edition of souvenirs for the exhibition: pocket mirrors with Tanja Selzer's painting "Paradise" (2020) as the main motif. Participants of the guided tour on May 13 (Sat) will have a chance to take home one set of the pocket mirrors and to reflect on your own (Fe)male Gaze!
