Susanne M. Winterling was born in Rehau, Germany, where she still lives. She works across a range of media to explore the sentient economy, digital cultures, and the social life of materials across our built environment. Winterling?s practice reflects upon political as well as aesthetic entanglement among human/animal species and the elements in today?s challenging geopolitical context. She also remains focused on historical feminist practices and the commons and highlights different ways of knowledge through embodiment. Working across a variety of media and with a constant challenging and questioning of artistic media in society, Winterling is known for her time-based installations critically engaging the representation of reality. Prevailing modernist concepts, power structures, and hierarchical historiographies are captured and investigated in her work in the form of spatial constellations. Her practice emphasizes what pure information and form leave out?including a sensual approach to media and material informed by the understanding of immersion and power as energy flows. With an emphasis on enhancing our perceptual and critical consciousness, Winterling undertakes affective and material-based research that highlights the subjective interaction between producers, viewers, materials and species in our ecology. Winterling is a professor of contemporary art and the medium of installation. Recent exhibitions and projects include ?Myths of the Marble,? HOK Oslo and ICA Philadelphia; ?An Inventory of Shimmers? at MIT List, Cambridge, MA; Contour Biennale 2017; ?Blockadia*Tiefsee,? Kunstverein Freiburg; ?Hellstrom Chronicle,? Barbara Weiss Galerie Berlin; ?Space Elevator: Streetbodies and Donkeydreams,? The Cologne Room, Los Angeles; ?Complicity,? Kunstverein Amsterdam; Fondazione Morra Greco, Napoli; e-flux, New York; Stacion – Center for Contemporary Art Prishtina; Kunstverein Luebeck; Fridericianum, Kassel; and Sculpture Center, New York to name a few.
