I CURATE
Since 2015, Britta Adler has been curating group exhibitions as a freelancer. Often on a larger scale. In addition to artistic quality, the diversity of artists and their works is important to her. She passionately brings socially relevant themes into an artistic discourse. The exhibitions "bitch MATERial" & "bOObs" (co-curated with Saralisa Volm) were shown in Berlin and Hamburg and met with great response in the press. The exhibition series was recently awarded the first prize of the Green Party's "Hatun Sürücü" Women's Prize. For innovative topics at the edge of the taboo renowned artists could always can be won over.

bitch MATERial stands for the powerful, contemporary and above all diverse form of mother identity. The exhibition is accompanied by an extensive programme: Panel discussions, PechaKucha event and men's regulars' table on the topic of mother images, family and gender in the art market. With over 30 international artists.
bitch MATERial celebrates the mother as creator. Mothers create children, art, careers and controversies. It is about the diversity of mother images. Is a mother allowed to make porn? How sexy or how well-behaved can mothers be these days? Is it permissible to do without children? And how much mother is there in a man?

A study commissioned by the BBK Studie zeigte deutlich, dass Frauen in der Kunstwelt lange nicht so erfolgreich sind wie ihre männlichen Kollegen. Den mindestens gleich vielen Absolventinnen der Kunsthochschulen stehen ein weit geringerer Prozentsatz von Künstlerinnen gegenüber, die in Galerien und auf Kunstmessen zeigen und verkaufen, geschweige denn in Museen zu finden sind. Wir sind noch weit von „Gender Equality“ entfernt (hier die download detailed results of the bbk study). The big question is: How do we deal with this? And how do we want to change it!

Time flies, no – time LIES! Die Zeit verfliegt, nein sie lügt! So denken wir, wenn wir hektisch versuchen, einen Termin einzuhalten. Obwohl Zeit wissenschaftlich gemessen werden kann, fließt sie unserer persönlichen Erfahrung nach mit endlos variierender Geschwindigkeit.
