An afternoon with...

An afternoon with Lynne Tillman, Bonnie Camplin, Lili Renaud-Dewar and Hanne Lippard.

An afternoon with Lynne Tillman

In conjunction with the exhibition Madame Realism, on view until June the 5th, Marres organises An afternoon with Lynne Tillman on May 15.
Lynne Tillman, author of the book The Madame Realism Complex and creator of the character Madame Realism, was raised in New York and Long Island. Lynne Tillman studied history and art at Hunter College and later lived in London and Amsterdam. Back in New York, she became an art critic and fiction writer. She is currently professor of writing at the University of Albany.
On May 15, Lynne Tillmann will give a lecture and read from her work. The exhibition Madame Realism, which addresses the role of the female dandy, got its title and inspiration from the book The Madame Realism Complex.

Performance Man Alone With Herself by Hanne Lippard. A new performance loosely inspired by Nietzsche’s ‘will to power’ and Virginia Woolf’s A room of ones own, fused with melancholic pop.

Frieze

A glimpse of the dynamics within a collecting art institute
Can death, decay and blood indeed be so beautiful, almost seductive? 
Consumerist excess and the fiction of economic speculation
Create or destroy
Every bird can only sing what it is able to hear
Health as common good and social capital
How to deal with this new reality?
is the idea of a school still grounded in the locality of a physical environment?
The ultimate symbol of godlessness
Trust me - I'm a designer
We'll be rich tonight!
Without a palace of glass, life is a burden
