Starting with the feminist positions of the 1970s such as Sanja Iveković, Ulrike Rosenbach and Annegret Soltau and Viennese Actionism with Günter Brus through to the most recent self-portraits by Louisa Clement - "MOTHER" brings together perspectives from artists of different generations on the reciprocal relationship between mothers, fathers and children, in particular on the relationship of female artists to motherhood.

The result is a tableau that understands motherhood from a radically physical experience as well as questioning the social and political demands on the centuries-old concept of the mother and presenting new forms of maternal and parental relationships. Hardly any other social task is so critically scrutinized, commented on and judged as the relationship between parents and their children, and for women in particular there seems to be hardly any space between raven mother and tradwife.
