Christina Kruse takes EVE en route to HH

Christina is less often in the Meat Packing District these days and more so in the homeland. We like that. While in Berlin, she took BOB onto her nose and EVE straight into her luggage, of course. But Christina's main reason for being close, we happily and proudly admit, was another girl (Carola Born, her curator) or -to be exakt- many girls, whose (self-)portraits we will all see at Hamburg's Robert Morat Gallery from 03/17 to 05/10/2007.


"Kruse's work ponders many of the abiding big themes of art through the ages. In her exploration of the grand tradition of artists' self-portraits, she brings by turns dark honesty, wry humor, a poignant sense of moment and an absurdist's delight in parody. She ironizes and caricaturizes female stereotypes, creates new figures and deals with the basic question of perception and self-perception." Don't ask, we not know what mean... but Kruse's pics are fab!
