It is a multifaceted oeuvre that one encounters in the art museum, which goes by the name of Muzeum: You walk through a room whose walls are hung with painted doors in their original size. On display are processed photographs, sculptures and structures made of branches and foliage, geometric-constructive compositions in bright colors and 360-degree photo panoramas hanging from the ceiling. The artist can be seen in an installation with self-portraits mounted on tripods and surrounded by barcode tape on the walls.
This only describes a selection of the forms and styles that make up Schubert's oeuvre. Edita Schubert (1947-2001) was described as an "extraordinarily productive and imaginative artist" by the Kunsthaus, which opened in 2019 near the village of Susch in the Lower Engadin. She is an artist who is still little known in this country despite her appearance at the Venice Biennale in 1982.
Schubert studied art in Zagreb and worked for many years as a draughtswoman in the Department of Anatomy at the University of the Croatian capital. Her first hyperrealistic works emerged from this activity, which then led to a playful approach to a wide variety of forms and media in the course of the transavantgarde and postmodernism. The museum has chosen the exhibition title "Profusion" (abundance or richness) for this.
The exhibition "Edita Schubert: Profusion" can be seen until May 17, 2026.
