Tamara K.E.
Tamara K.E. resists the temptation of a surrogate bureaucratic definition of art, and it is due to the unsharpness and unidentifiability of her selection system that she gets the chance to direct our attention away from media pictures towards her own personality. Having to ask ourselves inevitably in view of her works according to what principle they are combined and exhibited, we admit to ourselves that we cannot identify with the artist on a conscious or on a subconscious level. Her personality remains a mystery to us… (Excerpt from A Private View by Boris Groys)
