About this Event
LEDA BOURGOGNE (born 1989 in Vienna, Austria) studied Fine Arts at the Städelschule Frankfurt am Main under Prof. Judith Hopf. In 2017, she won the Graduation Prize of Städelschule and Portikus Frankfurt am Main and received scholarships from the Hans and Stefan Bernbeck Foundation Frankfurt am Main, the Ernst Göhner Foundation Zug, the Foundation of Kunstfond Bonn, and the Hessische Kulturstiftung. Leda Bourgogne raises questions about the human body in its philosophical, poetic, and psychological dimensions and conditions. With object-like paintings, drawings, textual works, and performances or installations, the artist brings notions of physicality, violation, and healing into a profound field of tension - made of diverse references, connections, and arrangements. Her work has been exhibited, among others, at Westfälischer Kunstverein in Münster, the Kunstverein Braunschweig, at Fragile in Berlin, the Istituto Svizzero in Rome (IT), the Museum Frieder Burda in Baden-Baden, at the Helmhaus in Zurich (CH), and the Vleeshal in Middelburg (NL). Leda Bourgogne lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Her works are part of institutional and private collections.
