Ode to Eris: Artist Talk mit Roxana Rios

Artist Talk at the Exhibitionwith Roxana Rios and Philipp Freytag

What’s it about?

The “Ode to Eris” series is presented in the form of three large-format banners on the facade of the MdbK, as well as several photographic installations featuring six motifs in the permanent exhibition (1st and 2nd floors), which is free to the public.

Drawing on a core interest in questions of physicality, Roxana Rios has examined the permanent exhibition with regard to historical representations of status and gender. In *Ode to Eris*, Riosdrawson selected works to reflect on the embodiments depicted in them, as well as their contextual backgrounds and connections.

How do ideas, roles, power dynamics, or narratives become visible in the image?

How is the work embedded in cultural, historical, and social contexts?

What meanings and symbols does it convey, and how can these be linked to contemporary discourses?
