Victoria Colmegna

Opening: Friday 7 June, 6pm
With a concert by TRIPLE EX, 9pm

Luma Westbau is pleased to announce the first institutional solo exhibition by Victoria Colmegna curated by Fredi Fischli and Niels Olsen at schwarzescafé. “Mirror, Stage, Baby Introspective” shows a kaleidoscopic presentation of artworks and remnants of exhibitions made between 2013 and 2019. In her work, Colmegna engages with the body language and dynamics that dominate closed systems. This exhibition self-critically reflects the making of the young artist’s oeuvre as a self-abusive practice within her immediate social context. “Simple pop structures sustain her image, allowing her real self to remain a mystery – is she really that sexy?” Kim Gordon

So there are many paths to follow in “Mirror, Stage, Baby Introspective” but no actual solo show. The show is over-curated, populous, somewhat apocryphal, under-acknowledged. It's transpersonal; as in things done by many. By mixing, committing, hosting, inviting, ordering, demanding, asking and begging different things from different people, VC found the cipher for selfhood's unresolved dilemma: transpersonal agency.

Exhibition on view: 8 June – 18 August 2019
