from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rosa Lachenmeier (born March 13, 1959 in Basel ) is a Swiss painter and photographer . She lives and works in Birsfelden near Basel.

Live and act

Having grown up in Basel, she came into contact with art at an early age ( museums in Basel , Art Basel ). During her school days at the Bäumlihof grammar school, she took drawing courses at the Basel School of Design . After graduating from high school and spending a year in Geneva, she studied fine arts teaching at the Basel School of Design from 1979 to 1983. In addition to her main studies, she attended lectures on film history, which she completed with the exhibition “Architecture for the Night - Cinema Architecture” in 1990 at the Swiss Architecture Museum. From 1985 to 2018 she taught as a lecturer at the Basel School of Design. She has been participating in exhibitions and art fairs as a freelance artist since 1985. From 1993 onwards, he has made regular stays and exhibitions in Amsterdam, and since 2004 participations in individual shows at Art Frankfurt , Art Bodensee and Art Karlsruhe .

In her work, Rosa Lachenmeier primarily combines painting and photography and thus sets new accents in the areas of collage and photo overpainting .

Immediately after graduation, she dealt with the possibilities of using everyday objects as image carriers for painting. The pictures were created on records, plates or shirts. With her screen objects at the end of the 1980s, she reflected on the media conditions of our time and, with her view of the earth, asked questions about our constantly changing perception.

In the 1990s she devoted herself to the artist's book as the carrier of an artistic concept, sometimes as a dialogue between word and image, sometimes as a visual sequence of image metamorphoses. These artist's books are distributed by Printed Matter in New York and Boekie Woekie in Amsterdam, both artist-run stores specializing in artist books .

Rosa Lachenmeier became known for her architecture-related painting, which she summarizes under the title Anarchy and System . In doing so, she repeatedly rearranges groups of images of different formats, depending on the architectural conditions. Another focus is on groups of works that are dedicated to individual cities. On her forays, she captures her impressions with the camera at different times of the day and night from different perspectives, so that there are always new perspectives. This results in condensed, film-like compositions of photography and painting.

Exhibitions

Special location

Subculinaria , bridge cavity with works by Rosa Lachenmeier, 2008
MAGIC, insight into the exhibition by Rosa Lachenmeier in Schiff Willi, 2015.

In the Special Location series , Lachenmeier uses unusual locations for her exhibitions, such as the cavity of the Deutzer Bridge in Cologne ( Subkulinaria, 2008) or the attic of a disused armory ( mobilmachen , 2010). It is essential that the work relates to the respective location. In August 2015 she chose the historic canal ship Willi, a peniche, as a special location in order to set up the site-specific exhibition MAGIC in Basel's Rheinhafen . The hold of the former towboat , built in 1909, was left raw and the pictures with harbor motifs specially designed for the room were hung from the ceiling. Similar projects followed in 2016 at the Weseler shipyard in Frankfurt am Main , in 2017 for Kult (o) urnacht in Speyer and in 2018 for ExtraSchicht in the Ruhr area. Away from the art world, she presented her works in a new context: the contemporary works came into an exciting contrast to the historical, functionally furnished cargo hold, in which the traces of the past century tell stories.

Selection of exhibitions

Regular solo and group exhibitions in the AdK gallery, Actuele Kunst in Amsterdam since 1998 and in the Mäder gallery, Basel from 2001 until the gallery was closed in 2017.
