Join us in welcoming Berlin-based interdisciplinary artist Kaethe Wenzel as she discusses her work in urban interventions and how she challenges the notion of artwork as an object to be observed.
After all, the world is being produced collectively, across the borders of time and geography as well as across the boundaries of the individual. – Kaethe Wenzel
Kaethe Wenzel, a Berlin-based artist has used a diverse variety of media and material such as textiles, found items, animal bones, plants, soil and other organic material, as well as small electronics to produce urban interventions and objects of speculative fiction at the intersection of art, science and technology. Wenzel challenges the notion of the artwork as an object to be observed in a gallery or museum, and the gallery as a constrained space with relatively limited interactions. Her extensive body of work extends to building facades, billboards, entire neighborhoods and the city, translating into urban interventions to explore the collective production of culture and the creation and negotiation of public space.
