Katharina Sieverding’s Transformer (1973–74) is a monumental slide projection that cycles through images that combine the artist’s face with that of her collaborator, Klaus Mettig. Curatorial fellow Peter Murphy will discuss the history of this work—including a more recent iteration, Transformer Cyan Solarisation 1973/74 (2023), that is also on view—and its exploration of gender as an evolving and expansive spectrum rather than a fixed and binary category. This talk focuses on the installation Katharina Sieverding: Transformer, in Gallery 1120.


This gallery talk is part of our New on View series, highlighting recent gallery installations and presenting new insights into recent acquisitions or old favorites.


Led by:

Peter Murphy, Stefan Engelhorn Curatorial Fellow in the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art
