Recently, artistic works by women have increasingly entered the public view - and with this the obstacles that women artists once had to battle to a much greater degree than they do today. Now, in the twentyfirst century, there is no longer a dearth of role models for female artists of the younger and middle generations. How do they reflect on female creativity today? How do they write themselves into the genealogy through their own artistic work? How do they view the women who have long been ignored by history books, forgotten and even actively banned from the narrative? How do they relate to their ancestors and pioneers, to the women who were active in the visual arts and other artistic fields? The exhibition Auf den Schultern von Riesinnen [On the Shoulders of Giantesses] delves into archives that have long remained unexplored, searching out the legacies of the creative women upon whose shoulders today's artists stand.
