Bettina Pousttchi was born in Mainz in 1971 and studied, among others, with Rosemarie Trockel at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. The German-Iranian artist Pousttchi has been exhibiting internationally for 20 years now and has already been represented twice at the Venice Biennale. Her works often represent transgressive works of sculpture, architecture, and photography that address the human-constructed living environment and the impermanence of human memory. Pousttchi last exhibited at the prestigious FIAC art fair in Paris in October 2021.
Bettina Pousttchi. Fluidity is the first part of the exhibition series that will define the program of the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck in 2022. Entitled Wegweiserinnen, it will feature contemporary women artists who work at artistic intersections and portray leading voices in contemporary art. The museum is organizing the series in the spirit of its namesakes, the artist couple Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Hans Arp, who went down in art history as experimental avant-gardists of modernism. The exhibition on Pousttchi runs from December 19, 2021 to June 12, 2022.
