Josephine Meckseper (* 1964, Lilienthal, Germany, lives in New York, USA)
Josephine Meckseper reaches for her multimedia work on artistic traditions of the 1960s and 70s back: Pop, Conceptual Art, Post-Minimal and Ready Made, this is associated with content from fashion, Advertising culture of protest and political agitation. Provocative and bold image content found in their work to cool abstraction and trashy everyday materials. Again and again - as it analytically exempted from the distance of their longtime town New York - this is close to German-specific issues: symbols and images from conservative politics, culture and fashion.
relates In recent works, Josephine Meckseper to given situations and plays with the complex layers of meaning of everyday consumer goods and fashion accessories.

The dusty window display of an orthopedic specialty store, which usually oozing so much sex appeal and glamor, as the title of the work already says wins at Meckseper as a full-size Photographs mounted on a seductive charm and suggestive power.
