Conceived as a visual résumé, Installation Views provides both a comprehensive overview of Charlotte Posenenske’s solo exhibitions and a record of her numerous group shows.

In her Manifesto, Charlotte Posenenske stated: “I find it difficult to come to terms with the fact that art can contribute nothing to the solution of pressing social problems.” Developing her artistic practice throughout the 1960s, Posenenske produced a body of work that uniquely combined several strands of the art of the period: conceptualism, minimalism, and socially engaged participatory art. Her Manifesto, published in Art International in May 1968, lays out the social demands on art as well as the impossibility of fulfilling those demands. Shortly after its publication, Posenenske left the art world behind to pursue her studies in sociology, undertaking a new career in that field.

Produced on the occasion of Roman Ondák’s exhibition Spirit and Opportunity at the Kölnischer Kunstverein, Köln from 1 May–27 June, 2004.

With texts by Frank Frangenberg, Georg Schöllhammer, Igor Zabel, and a conversation between Hans Ulrich Obrist and Roman Ondák.

Delivered at Harvard in 1988–89 as the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures, were more like performances, as the audience heard them. Cage calls them “mesostics,” a literary form generated by chance (in this case computerized I-Ching chance) operations. Using the computer as an oracle in conjunction with a large source text, he happens upon ideas, which produce more ideas. Chance, and not Cage, makes the choices and central decisions. Such a form is rooted, Cage tells us in his introduction, in the belief that “all answers answer all questions.”

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition The Clock Wife at A Tale of A Tub, Rotterdam, October 25, 2025 – January 25, 2026.

Accumulating over three months, The Clock Wife is an exhibition that focuses on artist estate management by presenting four estates through the eyes of the women overseeing them: Marja Bloem presenting her partner Seth Siegelaub; Sue Cramer and Emma Nixon presenting husband and father John Nixon; Johanna Monk presenting her beloved Vanita Monk; and Juf (Bea Ortega Botas and Leto Ybarra) presenting their peer Fran Herndon. At the core of the exhibition is the conflation of administrative and emotional labour inherent to this line of work. Yet an exhibition built around an acknowledgement of the invisibility of certain forms of labour—and an attempt to centre them in turn—has a paradox at heart: how do you make visible that which is not seen?

Produced on the occasion Vaginal Davis’s exhibition at Gropius Bau, Berlin, in 2025.

The artist Vaginal Davis certainly moves on dangerous ground with her transgressive shuffling of gender and genre boundaries. The self-described “sexual repulsive” co-founded several art/punk bands in her expansive 40-year-plus career, namely Afro Sisters, ¡Cholita!, Pedro, Muriel & Esther (PME), black fag and Tenderloin. As a writer and “Whoracle et Delphi”, Ms. Davis turns her quirky hairy eyeball to the collective practice of making music in the saucy underground scenes of Los Angeles and Berlin.
