Miriam Cahn - The Power Plant - Hatje Cantz 2008

Released on the occasion of Miriam Cahn’s solo exhibitions at The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, Toronto, and Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen, this publication gives a comprehensive overview of the acclaimed Swiss artist’s extensive and versatile body of work. Encompassing oil paintings and works on paper in chalk, charcoal, pastel, and watercolor as well as film, photography, and text, the catalogue elucidates the artist’s explorations that critically engage with themes such as women’s rights, identity, sexuality, and war. An uncompromising artist, Miriam Cahn has applied a feminist perspective throughout her career. Drawing on her own experiences and observations, as well as on the connecting lines between the diverse works from the past 25 years, the publication forms a cohesive statement—a reference to the performance art of the 1960s and 1970s centred on the artist’s own body: ME AS HAPPENING.
