Monday: By appointment only.
The first exhibition of 2024 at the Marta Herford is a group show ‘Annem işçi – Who Sews the Red Flags?’ between January 27 and May 20, 2024 in the Lippold Gallery. The exhibition brought together films, paintings, prints, photographs, an installation, and texts; asking what foreignness means half a century later and in which roles we live in the community. The project, which presents nine artists, including Nil Yalter, Gülsün Karamustafa, and Monika Sieveking, was curated by guest curator Gürsoy Doğtaş.
In her work the artist and feminist Nil Yalter addresses migrant workers in Germany but also in Belgium and France. In the series Turkish Immigrants, 1977, the artist lends migrant workers a voice but also through photography and drawing gives them a face. However, the faces of those portrayed dissolve, as do the memories of them, whether in her drawings or many years later when the Polaroid photos pixelate. In addition to the works exhibited in the Lippold Gallery, Yalter created works for the Marta Billboard and for an advertising space on Lübberlindenweg.
