Studio manager

A Berlin-based artist is seeking a full-time studio manager (m/f/d). The artist's practice involves developing experimental setups in which the body becomes an instrument of perception and understanding. Through the combination of sculpture, installation, performance, scientific methods and technological systems, her practice explores possible extensions of classical parameters in sculpture. In this way, she examines how people perceive reality and how the limits, uncertainties and ambivalences of knowledge are revealed in the process. Her works translate invisible processes into physically experiential situations, making orientation itself the subject of artistic experience.
