Wealth & Propriety is the title of two of Anna-Sophie Berger's most recent exhibition projects. They are accompanied by an image of a stick-figure wearing a dress on which arrows are drawn like axes,  labeled with the designations "wealth" and "propriety". The lecture will explore these terms literally and formally as they relate to art and to Berger's practice.

Anna-Sophie Berger (b. 1989, Vienna) is an artist living and working in New York and Vienna.

She has recently participated in group exhibitions at the Pictures Collection of the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna (2022); The Glucksman, Cork (2022); MACRO Museum, Rome (2021); MAK, Austria (2019); Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna (2019); Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem (2018); S.M.A.K., Ghent (2018); Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius (2018); Kestnergesellschaft, Hannover (2017); Kunstverein München, Munich (2017).
