On Tuesday, 26 October at 17:30 Charlotte Rohde will give a lecture at EKA hall.
Typedesigner and artist Charlotte Rohde will talk about her latest project “HOT MESS 2021”, which she will contextualise within her practice. In her work “HOT MESS 2021”, Rohde explores the idea of 2021 womanhood through niche internet culture, thinking about Naomi Osaka and Britney Spears, who dared to become human under the public eye. Machine-produced and hand-treated, “HOT MESS 2021” performs a self-fetishisation to reclaim its body and emotionality from the public gaze.
Charlotte Rohde is a (type-)designer and artist researching letters as an extension of the body and dealing with hyper-femininity, pop culture and (self-)control. Her work manifests somewhere between contemporary art, niche internet culture and type design as a tool of écriture féminine.
