Publisher's Synopsis
Performative and participatory painting
Christl Mudrak's first monograph publication is dedicated to her complex, often-ephemeral artistic work of the last two decades. The book is both a search for traces and a tracker of an aesthetic practice that eludes the simplistic patterns of art historiography and makes institutional appropriation difficult. In addition to the creation of experiential spaces and participatory-performative painting, Mudrak's work focuses on exploring the potential of collaborative work, based on a deep understanding of the equality of humans, animals, and nature. Through this monograph, Mudrak's elusive art is not only made visible, but can be experienced anew.
