Frauke Dannert
Studio grant holder in Stockholm 1 August – 27 October 2019
Frauke Dannert (b. 1979 in Herdecke, Germany) studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and at Goldsmiths, University of London. She lives and works in Cologne, Germany. In her works on paper as well as in her spatial installations, she follows the principles of collage. The work of Frauke Dannert is a response to experiences of place with an emphasis on exploring architectural ideologies, the physical processes of de- and re-construction, and optical illusions of space. It explores spatial phenomenology and the physicality and embodiment of being in space, expressing this in forms that are in continual tension between the two- and three-dimensional.
