Bea Schlingelhoff
Vier Künstlerinnen der „Entarteten Kunst“ Ausstellung in München
2021
In the context of her 2021 solo exhibition, No River to Cross, Bea Schlingelhoff has installed four plaques on the outside of the Kunstverein building naming the only female artists of the “Entartete Kunst” exhibition in Munich: Maria Caspar-Filser, Jacoba van Heemskerck, Marg Moll, and Emy Roeder. They are set in the typeface Marianne Baum, designed by Schlingelhoff. The signs remain permanently installed, bringing non-canonized female positions (back) into the field of view. Moreover, the plaques assume the function of a commemorative sign in public space that has so far not been realized on the part of the city.
