Sylvie Fleury: Exhibition History 1991-2023: Cat. Kunst Museum Winterthur

By Simon Baier

If ever an art ? museum is transformed into a fashion show, then Sylvie Fleury definitely is the guest. For around twenty-five years, the artist has wittily ? explored gender clich s and the stereotypes of consumer society. Kunst Museum Winterthur is presenting Shoplifters from Venus , the first ? comprehensive solo exhibition of the Geneva artist in Switzerland in fifteen years, in which she seeks a dialogue with modernism while revealing its masculine character with great relish. This forthcoming book is more than just an exhibition catalogue: it follows the development of the artist's work on the basis of all her solo exhibi? tions since the 1990s. Essays by Simon Baier, Konrad Bitterli, and Elisabeth Bronfen illuminate ? selected aspects of her work, which over the years has lost little of its contentious poignancy and emancipatory power.
