Artist

  • Ad Minoliti

Curator

  • Marie Himmerich

Ad Minolitis work revolves around the relationships between the tradition of abstract painting, (interior) design and gender. Part of her artistic strategy is the imagination of a queer, parallel universe, which she reflects in a reinterpretation of art-historical as well as social conventions. To this end, the artist appropriates the geometric formal language of modernism: Once the bearer of utopian life plans, with Minolitis work this culminates in a cheerful feminist project.

Her exhibition Coven combines digital prints and a video in front of a mural that replaces the normative principles of museum display with the artist’s own alusive interpretation system. A play of aesthetic and popular cultural signs, of quotations of form and media takes its course.

Ad Minoliti (*1980 Buenos Aires) lives and works in Argentina.
