Judith Fegerl: calorie

The artist Judith Fegerl (*1977 Vienna) dedicates her Linz show calorie to the theme of warmth by combining technology, material and feminist discourse.

As a process of exchange and movement, the concept of heat permeates private, social and political spaces alike with the question of the right temperature for the living and functional conditions of living and technical environments. In this sense, the exhibition title calorie refers to the historical unit of measurement of energy, defined by the warming of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Today, the calorie is a sign of human consumption and often serves as an instrument of measurement, power and control for shaping the body.
