Ani Schulze: Hang in There, Baby

“Much of Ani Schulze’s work creeps, worms, twists, curls, ripples, slithers and slides,“ writes Baptist Ohrtmann in his text Slack, ooze, creep, leak. “Her work shows a sensorium of loose ends. It implies the hanging, the flapping, the meandering, and the dangling. Things are outlandish and stand out. At the same time, they seem strangely surrendered to gravity. Many lie motionless on the floor, drooping, hanging over, limp, sloppy and seemingly will-less, anhedonic. They show a soft vulnerability–skin without body, body without skin–which carries the inside to the outside.“

Published on the occasion of Lovers & Hunters Ani Schulze’s solo exhibition at Kunstverein Siegen, this exquisitely designed book by Lamm & Kirch includes texts by Oriane Durand, Baptist Ohrtmann and a conversation between Ani Schulze and Jennifer Cierlitza. It presents Ani Schulze’s first catalogue, providing an insight into her multifaceted practice, which moves seamlessly between film, painting, drawing, sculpture and installation.
