Siem's art repeatedly employs a formal language and a mode of presentation that refer to ethnological objects and collections. This enables her to comment on Modernism's problematic appropriation strategies toward non-European art. In addition to borrowing motifs from art and cultural history, Siem critically engages the mechanisms of the male-dominated art business - a central theme in her oeuvre.","brand":"RANDOM HOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41508554408069,"sku":"PR398785","price":116.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/image_TNXDPH3WXDK7.jpg?v=1769798357","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.com.au\/products\/wiebke-siem-bilingual-edition","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
