Together with the eighty plates and an accompanying booklet, the vinyl comes in a slip lid box, jointly forming the subject matter of this experimental artist publication.
Kruse sets the tableaus to music and presses her performative reading on vinyl.
The expansion of her work into the medium of sound is typical for the artist.
She filters out the nouns from the headlines to alphabetize them: from "Abstiegsangst" (fear of decline in status) to "Zuwanderungsrekord" (record immigration).
Kruse transfers her research onto eighty canvases in one overall installation; she uses the tableaus to depict a cross-section of current affairs.
In her most recent project, she is interested in the interplay between language, politics, and media coverage--every day since 2015, the artist has collected twenty-five headlines from a German daily newspaper.
Even today, Kathe Kruse skilfully combines these media into one overall concept.
Based on music from West Berlin and situated there in the 1980s, the collective occupied all branches of art such as painting, sculpture, photography, performance, video, literature, and film.
