The Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, presents the first US solo exhibition of the work of German artist Andrea B眉ttner (b. 1972), including a newly commissioned installation. B眉ttner鈥檚 work often creates connections between art history and social or ethical issues, with a particular interest in notions of poverty, shame, value, and vulnerability, exploring and challenging the belief systems that underpin聽them.聽Deliberately working within a range of premodernist media that includes techniques such as woodcut, reverse glass painting, weaving, and moss cultivation, B眉ttner emphasises the direct materiality of such methods in dialogue and counterpoint with video, performance, and installation.
