Juliane Solmsdorf’s art-world endeavours reach far beyond art making. As a young art student, Solmsdorf would turn empty spaces – still abundant in Berlin – into pop-up exhibition spaces, dabbling in the role of manager and gallerist. Her latest temporary space, which she ran together with Matti Bergmann, was called 4D and occupied an empty shopping passage behind Berlin’s signature tourist attraction, the TV Tower. Often working with ready-mades, Solmsdorf’s body of work is as varied as the objects and materials she reworks into her installations, sculptures and performances. She dissociates found objects from their materiality, making the processes of motion and transformation intrinsic to the work. A young woman artist, she doesn’t shun the difficult territory of feminine art, and the body, its absence and its eroticism are recurrent motifs.
