In her work, Lisa Großkopf takes aim at the striving for perfection. She highlights a troubling worldview: one that ascribes responsibility for life’s happiness primarily to the individual, while largely ignoring essential variables such as structural inequalities and social disadvantages. Großkopf confronts the neoliberal ideal—where health, beauty, and contentment are viewed as things to be maximized solely through diligence and discipline—with the reality of hyper-capitalist societies.
At the intersection of literature and visual arts, Sarah Rinderer focuses on dealing with language itself, its pauses, gaps and in-between-spaces. By making seemingly silent punctuation marks audible together with voice performers or by sending a message into the past through semaphore gestures, she explores the conditions that make communication possible – across spatial and temporal distances, different sign systems, codes and beyond words.
Lisa Großkopf (b. 1989, Vienna) studied at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, and the University of Arts Linz. Her extensive exhibition history includes presentations at Lentos, Belvedere 21, the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, and Kunsthaus Graz, as well as recent participation in the Ars Electronica Festival. Her work has taken her internationally to cities such as Budapest, Tehran, Düsseldorf, Bratislava, Amsterdam, Kassel, and Jacksonville, and has included solo exhibitions in Prague, Ljubljana, and Chongqing.
