Tina Schulz

Drawings, paintings, sculptures, videos, and installations are as much the tools for Tina Schulz’s conceptual approach as are her writings. For her, the issue of self-awareness is a problem of standpoint and perspective: What do we see and where? What is our interior, what our exterior space? Do we move? What do we imagine? Where are we heading? Schulz explores diverse models of representation and their potential to induce a degree of emancipation into the process of self-reflection–while at the same time aiming for a fundamental criticism of any representation of subjectivity. In her oeuvre, Schulz sets up semantic arrangements made out of individual works and reflexive gestures. Sculpture, video, graphics, and painting meet and interfere in such compositions, ever creating new triggers for the production of meaning. The insight that every statement is context-based is at the heart of her artistic practice.

Schulz has had solo exhibitions at Leipzing’s Museum of Contemporary Art, Wiels in Brussels and Gallery naechst St.Stephan Rosemarie Schwarzwaelder in Vienna. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, Kunstmuseum Bonn, MAK Center Los Angeles, and Artist’s Space in New York, among other institutions.
