Anna Meyer: White Cube Sitcom

Under the Title »WHITE CUBE • SITCOM,« Anna Meyer deals with a story concerning power, money, and politics in the art world of her native city of Vienna.

Anna Meyer painted buildings of symbolic importance as well as individual persons and groups in various comic book-like text-andimages sequences with lush and brilliant oil paints on 35 transparent Plexiglas panel. As a direct participant in the hair-raising events, the artist does not omit herself from the pictures. In doing so, she assumes the role of a participant, as well as an observer and an observed. The artist is in no way concerned with a representation of the truth. It is rather the case that Anna Meyer very deliberately reflects in »WHITE CUBE • SITCOM« on various perspectives and points of view on the topic of truth and its conveyance in the media.

Anna Meyer (born 1964 in Schaffhausen/Switzerland, lives in Vienna/Austria) studied at the design schools at Zurich and Lucerne. She devotes herself to the global consumer culture and the resulting conflicts and shifts in living conditions in her paintings and largeformat billboards in public spaces. Together with the Tokyo-based fashioned designer Edwina Hörl, the artist contributes to collections in the form of co-operations.
