... with Emily Weiner

In this episode of WAS MIT KUNST, Johann König speaks with painter
Emily Weiner, whose exhibition TIME AND TIDE is currently on view
at KÖNIG GALERIE. Emily Weiner’s paintings consider the art canon
through a feminist and Jungian lens. By reconfiguring symbols that
have been recycled throughout the history of art, her work
questions how archetypal images are shared across generations – and
how familiar symbols might be reordered to generate new, collective
understanding. Weiner approaches each painting intuitively, and by
working in many layers of paint, finds synchronicity in
combinations of colors, forms, and symbols. She creates multimedia
frames to further demarcate spaces of suspended disbelief in each
of her paintings. In the podcast, König and Weiner speak about her
artistic practice, her sources of inspiration, and about the
exhibition TIME AND TIDE.
