Viewing A tribute to the radical sculptures of Anu Põder

On your way up the mountain, be sure to stop off at Muzeum Susch in the Lower Engadin valley to see the radical assemblages of Estonian artist Anu Põder (1947-2013), curated by Cecilia Alemani. The exhibition reflects the museum’s founding mission to champion avant-garde women artists who have been overlooked by the international art world.

Põder was a sculptor who charted her own path. While her counterparts were using precious materials like bronze and granite to portray the Soviet society’s ideals and icons, Põder employed textiles, wax, plaster, soap, plastic and wood to create sculptures that depicted the human form from within. Poignant, sensual and sometimes violent, her tangles of limbs and body parts highlight the transience of life and the frailty of the body. Take heed before you tear down the pistes.
