Isa Melsheimer

After her studies at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin, where she studied under Georg Baselitz, German artist Isa Melsheimer lived and worked, thanks to scholarships and artist residences, in Marfa Texas, Los Angeles, Istanbul, Lisbon and Rome. In her sculptures and installations, Melsheimer repeatedly refers to architecture, urbanism and landscaping. The form of expression with which she discusses mostly uninhabited or endangered situations is often linked to the perpetual change in scale and perspective. Melsheimer participated in exhibitions at the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht, Netherlands, musée d’art contemporain, Nîmes, France, the Museum of Art, Santa Monica, Los Angeles, the IKOB—Museum of Contemporary Art in Eupen, Belgium and the Barlach Haus, Hamburg, Germany.
