„Trotzdem glaube ich, dass diese Poetin, die nie ein Wort schrieb und an einer Kreuzung begraben wurde, noch lebt. (...) Sie lebt in Ihnen, in mir und in vielen anderen Frauen, die heute nicht hier sind. Ja, sie lebt. Denn wahre Poetinnen sterben nicht.“ – Virginia Woolf. A Room of One’s Own. 1929
Die Ausstellung lehnt sich an die Narration des bekannten Romans von Virginia Woolf an, welcher in den 1970er-Jahren zu einer Standardlektüre der Frauenbewegung wurde. Als junge Frau unterlag Virginia Woolf den Bedingungen der viktorianischen Gesellschaft, die für Frauen nur einen sehr beschränkten Wirkungs- und Entfaltungsraum vorsah. Auch heute ist ihr Roman besonders relevant, er öffnet eine universelle Diskussion über die Notwendigkeit eines Raumes für Kreation, für Stille und natürlich für Kunst. In unserer Gruppenausstellung präsentieren wir die Werke einer Vielzahl herausragender Künstlerinnen, welche ihre Arbeiten in Beziehung zur Wissenschaft, Geschichte und Literatur angehen und den Verlauf der Kunstgeschichte mitgestalten.

Press release

The exhibition is based on the narrative of the well known novel by Virginia Woolf, which became a standard read of the women's movement in the 1970s. As a young woman, Virginia Woolf was subjected to the conditions of Victorian society, which provided only a very very narrow sphere of activity and development for women . Even today, her novel is particularly relevant, opening up a universal discussion about the need for a space for creation, for stillness and, of course, for art. In our group exhibition, we present the work of
a variety of outstanding women artists who a pproach their work in relation to science, history and literature, shaping the course of art history.


“Nevertheless, I believe that this poetess, who never wrote a word and was buried at a crossroad, is still alive. (...) She lives in you, in me and in man y other women who are not here today. Yes, she lives. For true women poets do not die.” Virginia Woolf. A Room of One's Own. 1929
