Christiane Baumgartner: Another Country

complements the artist's first major M useum exhibition in the U.S. and offers an in - depth

introduction to the artist's work at mid - career.

Baumgartner is best known for monumental

woodcuts, handcarved prints that literally and

conceptually expand the traditional boundaries

of the medium beyond expectation. Leipzig - based artist Christiane Baumgartner (b.

1967) works at the

intersection of old and new

media to expand the conceptual and technical

capacities of printmaking.

Sourcing images from cinema and TV or from her

own photographs and videos, she hand - carves

woodcuts that defy convention and expectation.

Often monumental in scale or undertaken in

large series, the work is about speed and

transmission, about human sight and its elusive

capture, about cultural memory and modes of

representation.

Essays contextualise the work in relation to

German printmaking and the Leipzig school; an interview with the artist surveys her

praxis at mid - career.

Reviews for Christiane Baumgartner: Another Country

A muscular buzz hums through Christiane Baumgartner: Another Country . . . . It's not audible: It comes from pattern clattering over image. It is the fierce, staticky rumble of the concrete world dematerializing. . . . Brilliant . . . . Thrilling. --Boston Globe
