Rita Ackermann: In the Studio

We visit the artist in upstate New York where she has been working on her latest body of work—a continuation of her Mama series—consisting of automatic drawings and paintings on canvas which reveal her persisting interrogation of line, color and form. #RitaAckermann’s solo exhibition, ‘Mama ‘20’, on view at Hauser & Wirth Zürich from 12 September – 18 December 2020, continues her distinctive approach to painting and the coalescence between the personal and collective experience within.

It's interesting and pathetic how many people feel the need to define and degrade artistic expression. She paints following her instincts, maybe y'all should try it and stop spreading your pointless negativity. Words such as good or bad are irrelevant when it comes to art. Art is about relationality . . . you either relate to it or you don't. What this relationship means to each viewer/participant is personal. Viewing and making art are both acts of care.

I hear people say that all you need is a box to work in but my opinion is that you need a nice large studio space to really be able to create appropriately.

Painting is still alive. Bravo. Great little film and a fine artist.

Intoxicating art! Spontaneous lines, bursts of colors bobbing somewhere within the music...

I had an apartment all for my self like a studio once!!! And I couldn't paint!!! Took me being homeless living in my car and having the blessings of my ex-wife lettine live with here!!! And some how I painted more than I had ever paint and enjoyed!!! And like a divine girft from the heavens!!! She got pregnant and had the most beautiful creature a have care for to this day.

Please wear disposable vinyl gloves, the bad things in the paint will be getting absorbed through your skin which if you are doing it regularly can result in something horrible later on in life. Beautiful expressive paintings with a delicate fragile vibe, an expression of the artist herself.

Rita is a beautiful child. The practice to understand is an art form just in its self. But to appreciate something when not understood is the true aim for pleasantry. Her forms are worth it imo
Being disciplined as a child. I was made to stand in the corner and all I had to do was turn around.

The grey cat on the table looks fantastic, natural and not théâtral🤩

Anyone know the music playing? I'd love to look up the singer/band. Thanks.

Big studio + esoteric music = Big messy paintings

There was a time when this person would have been considered mad.
