Elisabeth Kuon


Curation an art mediation

Elisabeth Kuon is fascinated by art because it contains such a multifaceted expressiveness. For her, art is an involuntary side effect of our existence. Artists can stimulate, irritate, criticise, polarise - in artistic works they give expression to our present. These works, these views of the world and society, are shared with viewers in exhibitions. She understands making art and showing art as a highly sociological, political and emotional matter, as spaces for art inspire reflection and exchange.


Elisabeth Kuon lives and works in Stuttgart.
