Frozen Moments. From Vallotton to Hubbard/Birchler

From 24 November 2006 to 11 February 2007, in the latest of its Picture Ballot! exhibitions, Kunsthaus Zürich will turn the spotlight on the motif of the introverted woman in painting and photography. In spring, the Members of the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft overwhelmingly voted for the photograph ‘Stripping’ (1998) by Teresa Hubbard/Alexander Birchler. Guest-curator Linda Schädler has discovered analogies to this piece in works by artists such as Félix Vallotton and Mario Sironi and has brought together a dozen examples of the genre in a Cabinet Exhibition. Tense expectation and frozen moments colour the atmosphere that awaits the viewer.
