Nature pointue by Elisabeth Perrault at Pangée, Montreal

In her dream, her stomach turns into a ceramic flower stem. The growing plant’s pieces are falling apart. Lying in her bed, she tries to stitch the fragments of her belly back together, like she does in the studio while building her giant flowers.

Dream Baby Dream by Rebekka Benzenberg at Galerie Anton Janizewski, Berlin

Exhaustion as an expression of resistance, depression as a silent but fundamental indictment of a sick system: in Dream Baby Dream, Rebekka Benzenberg draws attention to questions that only on a surface level appear personal and intimate. With a pointed compilation of sculptures, sound, and painting, the artist circles around the motif of the bed – a tempting retreat and hated sickbed at the same time – which she locates politically and illuminates critically. In doing so, the image of women in late capitalism as well as the overwhelming flood of therapy offers are being scrutinized.

– Malte Lin-Kröger
