Birgit Jürgenssen @ Alison Jacques Gallery

This exhibition of work by Birgit Jürgenssen (1949-2003), examines women’s interior lives refracted in exterior systems of power. Many of Jürgenssen’s works focus on the domestic life of a mythic figure, the ‘hausfrau’: an ideal bourgeois Austrian housewife.

The exhibition showcases the conceptual and material diversity of Jürgenssen’s work, including lesser-known drawings and photographs from the 1970s and 1980s alongside previously unseen collage and painting.
