Chloe Piene
Conversations with Artists
For discussion about her artwork, Chloe Piene will be in conversation with Klaus Ottmann.
Event Details
Chloe Piene’s videos and drawings assert a wry and morbid sexual prowess—including sketches of female nudes that are reminiscent of heavy-metal sirens, the death-march skeletons of Albrecht Dürer, and the emaciated figures of Egon Schiele. Ethereal, erotic, and sensual yet slightly chilling, the female bodies she depicts lie prostrate in a moment of death. Piene will be in conversation with Klaus Ottmann, Deputy Director for Curatorial and Academic Affairs at The Phillips Collection.
