Karo Kuchar is a multidisciplinary artist working in several media and with different sujets. Her conceptual work is based on the idea of a symbiosis between body and space, and focuses on the various concepts of the skin as a shell or cover, as well as the body as an architectural structure. She critically examines society, legal aspects of art and the economic market, as well as feminism. Her so called skins made out of fabric capture the imprint of walls in old buildings and the appearance of female garment, erecting a structure with an ambivalent form. „The artist stretches bikinis and swim trunks across stretcher frames, sometimes combining them into ultra-crisp "pairs." Provided with mischievous titles, she transforms bare walls into pieces of clothing, thus humorously referencing the last piece of cloth that covers our most private parts. The focus of her interest are transformation processes, appropriations and conditions that lead to a change in optics.
