Katharina Grosse – Cokeypane I

About Katharina Grosse

Katharina Grosse was born in 1961 in Freiburg/Breisgau, Germany, currently lives and works in Berlin. She studied at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Germany, and Kunstakademie Münster, Germany. Embracing the events and incidents that arise as she paints, Grosse opens up surfaces and spaces to the countless perceptual possibilities of the medium. While she is widely known for her temporary and permanentin situwork, which she paints directly onto architecture, interiors, and landscapes, her approach begins in the studio. With calculated focus, she allows new patterns and procedures in her paintings to emerge from action, further multiplying this potential with stencils cut from cardboard and thick foam rubber—tools with which to develop further cuts, layers, and perspectival depths. Grosse’s gestures unfold all at the same time in unmixed acrylic colors, engulfing the viewer in a toxic sublime. Grosse’s work has been exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions. Recent solo museum exhibitions include “Inside the Speaker,” Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf (2014); “yes no why later,” Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Moscow (2015); “Seven Hours, Eight Rooms, Three Trees,” Museum Wiesbaden, Germany (2015); and Museum Frieder Burda, Germany (2016). Grosse’s most recent site-specific installations includeUntitled Trumpet, 2015for the 56th Biennale di Venezia in 2015 andRockaway!for MoMA PS1’s “Rockaway!” program (2016).
