Andrea µþü³Ù³Ù²Ô±ð°ù: Art and social issues

The German artist connects art history, social and ethical issues

The work of Andrea µþü³Ù³Ù²Ô±ð°ù includes woodcuts, reverse glass painting, sculpture, video and performance. She creates connections between art history and social or ethical issues, with a particular interest in notions of poverty, shame, vulnerability and dignity, and the belief systems that underpin them.

µþü³Ù³Ù²Ô±ð°ù's work often makes reference to religious communities, drawing attention to the relationship between religion and art, and between religious communities and the art world. The video Little Sisters: Lunapark Ostia focuses on a sisterhood of nuns who manage an arcade in a small amusement park in Ostia, near Rome. The nuns speak about their work and respond to questions posed by µþü³Ù³Ù²Ô±ð°ù concerning happiness, spirituality and spectacle.
