Renate Bertlmann in conversation with Patricia Allmer and Clare O’Dowd (Online)
12 Feb 2025 6-7.30pm

Leading Austrian avant-garde artist Renate Bertlmann joins The Traumatic Surreal curators Professor Patricia Allmer and Dr Clare O’Dowd for a wide-ranging exploration of her diverse artistic practice, which spans painting, drawing, collage, photography, sculpture and performance.
Surreal and often shocking, Bertlmann’s work seeks to challenge and deconstruct binary structures and to confront the social stereotypes assigned to masculine and feminine behaviours and relationships.
The Traumatic Surreal exhibition includes four of Bertlmann’s sculptures, which use a diverse range of materials to deal with themes of sexuality, love, gender, and eroticism.
