In Dialogue - Mental Health

Two experts exchange their views on the central themes of the exhibition Swedish Modernism and connect them to current questions about art, research and society. With the Feminist Health Care Research Group (Julia Bonn and Inga Zimprich) and Lotte Leerschool (artist and art mediator)

How do artistic practice and working in the artworld affect our mental health? This was also an important issue for the artists of Swedish modernism. Amid political upheaval, discrimination, exclusion, and social challenges, they faced psychological pressures of their own. This guided tour will also explore how crises can be addressed collectively.

As an artistic research project, the Feminist Health Care Research Group (FHCRG) develops exhibitions  and workshops and publishes zines. The group’s goal is to create spaces where vulnerability can be shared, where (access) needs take centre stage, and where the logic of competition in the art world is broken down. The FHCRG questions the internalised, ableist understanding of productivity that is rewarded in the artworld.

Lotte Leerschool is a Berlin-based artist whose practice is focused on painting. Following her studies as a master student at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art, she completed an MFA in painting at Bard College in Berlin.
