As one of the largest bed sizes, “queensize” at the me Collectors Room Berlin serves as the springboard for the exhibition, with the bed seen as a key existential site of human experience, a symbol of death and birth, temptation and eroticism, dreams and nightmares.
The selected artists present us with their own distinctive view of human existence and of what makes us uniquely ourselves: our innermost being and innermost needs, our desires and passions. The collection investigates the disparities between how we see ourselves and how others see us, and asks whether there really is such a thing as the specifically female view.
I wasn't interested so much in the women artists themselves, but their works, which is why the Olbricht Collection ended up containing 150 female positions by now.
