Künstlergespräch & Film screening: Laure Prouvost und Julienne Lorz

For the fourth edition of DER ÖFFENTLICHKEIT − Von den Freunden Haus der Kunst Laure Prouvost has created an installation including sculpture, video, and an ambitious spatial intervention. With her inimitable sense of humor and imaginative flair, Prouvost addresses the architectural setting of the Middle Hall in Haus der Kunst, as well as the art institution itself.

Julienne Lorz will talk with the artist about her site-specific installation for Haus der Kunst, as well as her way of working and combining various media, and her approach to blur the boundaries between reality and fiction. In addition, Laure Prouvost will present a selection of her videos.
