In the framework of Loretta Fahrenholz’s solo exhibition at Lumiar Cité, the artist will be in conversation with art historian Sabeth Buchmann and curator Jürgen Bock. In line with revised Covid-19 recommendations, we are cancelling the previously announced finissage with the artist at Lumiar Cité.

For her first ever solo exhibition in Portugal, the artist and lm-maker Loretta Fahrenholz premiered her latest video, produced in collaboration with K8 Howl and Jak Ritger (TRLLM) for a concert by American artist and musician Kim Gordon. Installed at Lumiar Cité, this collage of street scenes from various US states forms the backdrop for a series of photographs taken during the artist’s summer 2020 residency in Lisbon. The images on the plasma screen showing the lm merge with the medium- and large-format photographs, creating an installation that encompasses the space, the effects of which unfold both inside and outside the gallery.

Together with Helmut Draxler, Clemens Krümmel and Susanne Leeb she co-edits PoLyPen, a series on art criticism and political theory, published by b books, Berlin.
