Dagmar Buhr "lui
29.09.2023 - 11.02.2024 ,
Neues Museum - Staatliches Museum für Kunst und Design Nürnberg (Nuremberg State Museum of Art and Design)
- Museum café.
- Shop.
Basically, she is a sculptor: Dagmar Buhr works with text like others work with stone. Her material consists of words and words. Whether found or invented, her texts always seem chiselled.
In her work, she deals with desiring looks in very different cultural contexts. Against the background of the red-light past of the neighbouring Luitpoldstraße, Dagmar Buhr (but) also builds a bridge from the exhibition house to those houses that cultivate pointing in a completely different way. In addition to the museum, a sex shop in Luitpoldstraße serves as a stage for her art. The artist borrowed the title of her exhibition, "lui", from the French men's magazine of the same name, which first appeared in 1963. What could illuminate the crisis and downfall of patriarchy better than Dagmar Buhr's reference to the fact that the indirect object pronoun "lui" in French can also be understood as feminine?
