Maria Lassning: “Art Education” + “Shapes”
Charlottenborg Art Cinema
By request from some of our exhibiting MFA Degree Students, we are screening two of visual artist Maria Lassnings works: Art Education and Shapes.
Maria Lassning was an Austrian born visual artist, especially recognized for her self-portraits and her special awareness of the body and gender politica.
Painting was her starting point, but from 1970 she also produced films based on her paintings. The film works are autodidact produced from her own drawings on a self-invented work desk (not an animation desk).
Art Education (1976), 8.06 min.
Through humour and feminist interpretations Maria Lassning demystifies the masculinity cult of famous works of art from Vermeer to Michelangelo.
Shapes (1972), 10 min.
Human forms are dancing to the sound of Johan Sebastian Bach composition in a way that dissolves what is feminine and masculine.
