Karin Sander

Karin Sander is a conceptual artist whose work is not easily defined by medium or subject, rather a consistent engagement in institutions, site specificity and context, which commands a viewer’s attention and introspection. Her projects are technically complex such as her 3-D body scans series of living persons. Other projects utilize simple common objects but may take days to complete such as the highly polished chicken eggs and interior walls. All her projects are based on context, research, art, history and architecture. The work resorts to means that exist in our norm, and this becomes visible, legible and demonstrated in its ambiguity.

Karin Sander is the recipient of the Rome-Prize of the German Academy in Rome. She has had solo exhibitions at Temporäre Kunsthalle, Berlin, Humboldt Lab Dahlem, Berlin; Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin; Kunstmuseum St. Gallen; K20 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf; Staatsgalerie Stuttgart; The Museum of Modern Art, New York. In 2018 she will have a solo exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Winterthur, CH. The artist lives in Berlin and Zürich.
