More DescriptionIf 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 cliché 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.
