(Redirected from Draft:Rosa Lachenmeier)

Rosa Lachenmeier (born March 13, 1959) is a Swiss painter and photographer whose work has been widely exhibited. She lives and works in Birsfelden near Basel.

Life

[edit]

Growing up in Basel, she came into contact with art at an early age (Museums in Basel, Art Basel). During college, she took drawing classes at the Schule für Gestaltung Basel (Basel School of Design). From 1979 to 1983 she studied at the University of Art and Design (Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst Basel) in Basel. In addition to her main studies, she attended lectures on film history, which she completed with the exhibition Architektur für die Nacht – Kino-Architektur 1990 in the Swiss Architecture Museum.[1] From 1985 to 2018 she taught as a lecturer at the Schule für Gestaltung Basel. Since 1985 she has participated as a visual artist in exhibitions and art fairs. From 1993 regular stays and exhibitions in Amsterdam.

Work

[edit]
Rosa Lachenmeier: Painter's palette, acrylic on vinyl records, 1985.
Rosa Lachenmeier: Modular Painting, exhibition space Stapelhaus Cologne, 2011.

In her art work, Rosa Lachenmeier mainly combines painting and photography, setting new accents in the fields of collage.[2] Immediately after her studies, she explored the possibilities of using everyday objects such as vinyl records, plates or shirts as image carrier for her paintings. With her screen objects in the late 1980s, she reflected on media conditions of our time and with the focus on a global view on the earth she asked questions about our constantly changing perception.[3] In the 1990s, she devoted herself to the artist's book as the bearer of an artistic concept, sometimes as a dialogue of word and image, sometimes as a visual sequence of pictorial metamorphoses. These artist's books are distributed by Printed Matter, Inc.[4] in New York and Boekie Woekie in Amsterdam, both artist-operated and artist-specialized stores.

Rosa Lachenmeier became known for her architecture-related painting, which she summarizes under the title Modular Painting.[5] In doing so, she arranges groups of paintings of different formats over and over again, depending on the architectural circumstances. Another focus is on groups of works dedicated to individual cities.[6] On her forays, she captures her impressions with the camera at different times of day and night from different perspectives, so that there are always new perspectives. This results in condensed, cinematic compositions of photography and painting.

Exhibitions

[edit]

Special Location

[edit]

In the Special Location series, Rosa Lachenmeier shows her works in exceptional locations such as the interior of a bridge in Cologne (Subkulinaria, 2008) or in the historic ship named Willi (since 2015).[7][8] Apart from the art world, she presents her works in a new context: The contemporary art pieces are shown in exciting contrast to the historic surroundings. The relation of the exhibitions to the respective location is essential.
