This year's presentation

Copenhagen based artist Marie Rud Rosenzweig creates warm and earthy colored oil paintings. The concept title ‘Boudoir’ refers to a recent painting by Rosenzweig of a make-up table with a mirror, which after a closer look is in fact disguised as a car. The theme revolves around being a woman in a bike- or car workshop. A recurring motif is the cogwheel, an essential component in engineering technology to run a mechanism. They are a means of transmitting the rotational effect of a force from one part to another and symbolically stand for productivity.

In Rosenzweig’s paintings it serves as a decorative pattern and element on the flat picture plane as found on partially faded vintage wallpaper. Rosenzweig is also investigating visual similarities between workshops and hospital delivery surgery rooms. For example the collecting vessel can be found in both rooms.

Another room of interest is the private room behind the workshop – it is a secret place where personal and intimate items can be found, often placed in the backroom of the workshop. Rosenzweig reveals and deconstructs mechanisms and forms of construction in today’s consumer culture in a still patriarchal society: How to (de)construct beauty, how to(de)construct urban and domestic landscapes, how to (de)construct gender roles.
