In her first institutional solo exhibition Nadja Abt critically examines obsessions β the way they are still often considered an almost pathological prerequisite for creating art, and the way they are profitably marketed.
Through painting, text, objects and a dance performance she reflects on the conditions of art-making: on the conscious experience, construction and description of creative processes and the genesis of thoughts as an artist, as well as their transfer into a form of feminist-autofictional narration. For the exhibition Obsession Abt has created three new groups of works in which she reveals her passion for literature, film, advertisement graphics, consumption and the works of other artists.
She transforms painting and diary texts into collages, comments on them, reworks and alienates them.

At this themed evening, both will talk about their obsession with life at sea in literature and art. German language event.
