Exhibition summary

Mes Meufs presents 'Con Brigitta,' an exhibition in a glass display case on Brigittaplatz, exploring imaginary works by the collective. The installation delves into themes of authenticity, imitation, and the interplay of memory, documentation, and projection.

Curatorial context

The exhibition 'Con Brigitta' by Mes Meufs is installed in the glass display case on Brigittaplatz, part of the Bezirksmuseum Brigittenau. This installation focuses on the collective's imaginary, non-existent works, drawing inspiration from interiors and domestic objects. Through fakes, trompe-l'œil, and reproductions, the exhibition creates a space that defies easy categorization, serving as both a stage and a container for memory and design. The artworks presented feel like distant relatives of their original forms, with replicas where the original and model become indistinguishable. This setup establishes a laboratory for possible pasts, where memory, documentation, and projection converge. Mes Meufs is a feminist, curatorial, and artistic collective founded in 2016, currently comprising Elisa Bergmann and Sophie Hammer. The exhibition opening was held on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at 6 PM.
