Schirin Kretschmann

Schirin Kretschmann (born 1980 in Karlsruhe) lives and works in Berlin. Her work is situated at the interface between installative painting and processual work forms that connect the action of painting to scientific cognitive and research processes, understanding the process itself as aesthetic research. Her most recent exhibitions have been at the Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, the Bregenzer Kunstverein, the CAPC Coimbra and the Kunstverein Salzburg. In 2017, her works were shown as part of “PRODUKTION. Made in Germany three”. 

In interdisciplinary research projects such as “Präparat Bergsturz” in Bern or “six memos for the next …” in Bregenz, she has worked with participants from other fields of science and art on transdisciplinary visual and cognitive methods. Her artistic-scientific PhD thesis at Bauhaus University Weimar explores the theory and mediation of painting concepts (mentors: Prof. Dr Michael Lüthy, Prof. Barbara Nemitz).
