From September 19 to November 9, basis, Frankfurt, presents the exhibition the invisible limb by Sarah Browne.
Central to the exhibition is a newly commissioned film with choreography by Fearghus Ó Conchúir, a soundtrack by Alma Kelliher and cinematography by Kate McCullough. The third in a series of works that address issues of gendered labour and representation, this latest film is partly addressed to deceased Frankfurt artist Charlotte Posenenske, renowned both for her rigorous artistic oeuvre and her eventual cessation of art production in favour of practising sociology, focusing on the study of wage labour conditions and factory processes. In the film, Browne works with another sculptor of Posenenske’s generation, born in the same year in fact, Irish stonecarver Cynthia Moran. The film stages a series of unlikely correspondences through sculptural objects and ideas of mimesis, technology and the magic of apparently costless production.
