Sophia Süßmilch. KANN ICH MAL DIE BRAUN?

With her painting action at the Belvedere 21, Sophia Süßmilch reacted to the Actionist work of Günter Brus. She had the exhibition space painted brown to thereby incorporate one of her own works on canvas. The resulting installation will remain on view until 12 August.

After varying presentations of works created by Günter Brus along with Arnulf Rainer, Jörg Schlick, and Dominik Steiger, Sophia Süßmilch reacts to the actionist work of Günter Brus with a painterly performance. The temporary installation, which will be created during her performance at Belvedere 21, will be on view for the remaining duration of the exhibition Günter Brus. Unrest after the Storm.

Sophia Süßmilch (born 1983 in Dachau, Germany) works across all genres, in and with all types of media. In her work she explores body constructions and politics, the art market, and the Universal in art. Her works oscillate between ironic distance and aggressive proximity, while humour is her main stylistic device to explore the absurdity of human existence. Sophia Süßmilch lives and works in Vienna and Munich.
