Milena Büsch's Exhibition at LC Queisser Explores Control and Structure

Milena Büsch's exhibition at LC Queisser in Cologne examines themes of control, structure, and assimilation through artistic practice. The work references Kathy Acker's text 'Stripper's Chaos Dirge' from 'Three Block Cop Complex,' which describes chaotic experiences of sex and vomit within poetic austerity. Büsch explores how individuals navigate loss of control, with the exhibition considering the tipping point between engagement and assimilation. The artist's approach involves tightly measured steps, where developing complex structures requires only three blocks or fewer. Critical debate is presented as negated by its opposite in the exhibition's framework. Büsch's work connects to preoccupations with control fantasies, including preparations for assaults or natural disasters, while questioning when such fascinations become control fantasies themselves. The exhibition at LC Queisser presents these investigations through Büsch's distinctive artistic methodology.
