SINTA WERNER

VITA

Installation artist Sinta Werner was born in 1977 in Germany. She lives and works in Berlin. Werner studied Fine Art at the University of Fine Arts, Berlin and made her Master of Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, London, in 2007. Her work has been presented at Marta Herford Museum; the Marrakech Biennale, Marrakech; MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art, Krakow; and Berlinische Galerie, Berlin along others. Selected solo shows include Match Gallery, Ljubljana and the galleries alexander levy, Berlin; COMA,Berlin; Nettie Horn, London and Christinger de Mayo, Zurich. She is the recipient of numerous awards and residency grants, i.a. by Kunstfonds Bonn; artist-in residence at Museumsquartier Vienna; and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). She lives and works in Berlin. Sinta Werner aims to interrogate our conventional ways of seeing and representing through elaborate fictitious environments. The creation of architectonic works notably contributes to her exploration of virtual and physical boundaries, the notion of intervals and “in-betweens“ alongside other such aspects linking the two and the three dimensional.
