SOME INNOCENT PEOPLE WILL BE HURT. HOWEVER, G-U-N SPELLS PRIDE TO THE STRONG, SAFETY TO THE WEAK AND HOPE TO THE HOPELESS. GUNS MAKE WRONG RIGHT FAST."] -

Jutta Koether is a painter, performance artist, musician, critic, and theoretician based in New York and Berlin. Her work with Artists Space began in 2012 with her performance fifth season act and most recently Analogue Drive (2024) performed in Hong Kong for Artists Space and Empty Gallery. In her live works, Koether enacts a highly specific form of entangled action centering on and around specific artworks. Embedded with performative possibility, these objects – positioned in a room, a situation, a city – circuit together in a network of language, duration, and the artist's active negotiation between producer and produced. As a painter, Koether challenges the viewer’s understanding of the medium’s terms and histories, often appropriating and retooling elements from the work of male masters. Engaging a range of motifs and materials—such as grids, X-marks, and red paint—she cultivates painting’s ability to yield something unanticipated, vital, and feminine. Koether studied art and philosophy at the University of Cologne and the Whitney ISP. In 1981 she joined the editorial staff of the music and art journal Spex. She is the author of several books and has written for such publications as Eau de Cologne, Artforum, Texte zur Kunst, and Flash Art. From 2010 to 2024 Koether was Professor for Painting and Drawing at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg. She has had major solo exhibitions at the Museum Brandhorst, Munich, Mudam Luxembourg – Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean; Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach; Artium Museoa, Vitoria-Gasteiz; PRAXES Center for Contemporary Art, Berlin; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven; Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland; Academy of Fine Arts Vienna; and Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne, among other venues.
