has produced what she calls “drastic paintings,” which feature even more dramatic images. Theseworks, which the artist describes as “pure realism, a little embellished and uglified,” explorestumultuous emotional states. With these paintings, Lassnig blurs the boundaries between internalreality and external representation, and between subjective experience and objective perception. In1980, Lassnig exhibited in the Austrian Pavilion at la Biennale di Venezia; she has also participatedin two editions of Documenta, the 8 th Gwangju Biennale and in many important group exhibitions.She has been featured in solo exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, at MUMOK in Vienna, atthe Ludwig Museum in Cologne, at the Serpentine Gallery in London and at the Lenbachhaus inMonaco.Marisa Merz, born in 1926 in Turin, Italy, lives and works in Turin.A central figure in postwar Italian art, Marisa Merz started her career in late 1960s, taking part inthe Arte Povera movement as the only woman in this Turin-based neo-avantgarde group. Thetheme of interiority runs throughout her work, which concerns both the private realm of the homeand her own individual subjectivity. Beginning with her earliest sculptures realized with industrialmaterials that she shaped into organic forms, Merz has pursued a distinctive and singular vision inpainting, drawing, and multimedia installation. Heads and female faces are a recurrent motif inMerz’s work and are subjects the artist often depicts in small clay sculptures and paintings that arealso intimations of the artist’s inner world. Merz has exhibited in major solo exhibitions at MADREin Naples, at Stedelijk in Amsterdam, at Kunstmuseum in Winterthur, at Centre Pompidou inParis, at Villa delle Rose in Bologna. Her work has been included in significant internationalexhibitions at Tate in London, at Documenta in Kassel, and at the Guggenheim in New York.Following her participation in la Biennale di Venezia in 1998 and 2001, Marisa Merz was awarded,on the occasion of the 49 th International Art Exhibition, the Special Prize of the jury “La Biennale diVenezia”.
