CARRIE YAMAOKA. Maria Lassnig Preis

In the organizer's words:

For the first time in Germany, the Hamburger Kunsthalle is showing a solo exhibition by the artist Carrie Yamaoka (*1957). The presentation in the atrium of the Galerie der Gegenwart takes place on the occasion of the New York-based, multidisciplinary artist being awarded the Maria Lassnig Prize. In her artistic work, Yamaoka is interested in changing materials and surfaces, often combining photography with text panels and reflective image carriers, for example. Chemical processes and fleeting transformations also play an important role in her work and question the possibilities of recording and documentation. The artist sometimes changes her earlier works again after a few years, thereby questioning the guidelines regarding the chronological development of an artistic oeuvre. The reflective surfaces of her works, which oscillate between image, photography and sculpture, allow space, light and the viewer to flow into one another in constantly changing perspectives and forms of appearance.
