“…For a woman to opt for a career at all, much less for a career in art, …[she requires] a certain amount of unconventionality, both in the past and at present; whether or not the woman artist rebels against or finds strength in the attitude of her family, she must in any case have a good strong streak of rebellion in her to make her way in the art world at all, rather than submitting to the socially approved role of wife and mother, the only role to which every social institution consigns her automatically.” (Linda Nochlin, 1971)

Good Luck Mütterchen xx is a ‘keep calm and carry on’ exhibition of works by, for and about artist parents, carving time for art out of necessity, memory, precarity, doubt, patriarchy, society, biology and culture.
