Miriam Cahn presents a new exhibition, "STILL LEBEN," at Galerie Jocelyn Wolff in Paris. The show features a recent body of work, produced largely in the past few months, which marks a distinct shift from her previous focus on the human body and overt brutality. The new pieces center on objects, everyday domestic situations, and interiors, exploring what the artist terms 'le ménage' (housekeeping).
This exhibition is significant as it signals a notable evolution in Cahn's practice, a Swiss artist known for her powerful, often confrontational figurative works addressing violence, war, and the body. The turn towards the quiet, the domestic, and the still life genre represents a profound formal and thematic pivot, inviting a re-evaluation of her oeuvre and prompting questions about intimacy, the everyday, and the political potential of the interior scene within contemporary art discourse.
