Nina E. Schönefeld

Nina E. Schönefeld

Nina E. Schönefeld lives and works in Berlin. Her work is regularily shown in Galleries like Fata Morgana, SchauFenster and Larry’s SHOW.

Artistic Curriculum Vitae

Nina E. Schönefeld did her Master in Fine Art and her scientific PhD at Berlin University (UdK). During this time she has also lived in New York to do research work for her PhD. She moved to London and received scholarships at Central Saint Martins College and the Royal College of Art. Her strong interest in new artistic developments has resulted in many trips to different continents.

The installations and videos of Nina E. Schönefeld are primarily no works of aesthetics. They are the result of a dispute with avantgarde movements of the early 20th Century and recent political developments to reconstruct an aesthetic that will satisfy artistic reflection and socio-political conflict at the same time. “Art has no more interest to serve the state and religion. It wishes no longer to be an illustration of cultural history.“ (Malevich)

Her work is interdisciplinary: she works with installation, concept art, light, video and sculpture at the same time… She doesn’t care about artistic boundaries… There is an overall system of light sources (lamps, movement detectors etc.), sound systems (mixers etc.), electronic machines, video & computer screens and newly build sculptures and interiors…

The focus of Nina E. Schönefeld lies on political, social and digital changes in society… phenomena of abrupt shift… escape from political persecution, hacking attacks, nuclear accidents, dictatorships, freedom of speech and a free press… people who are radically different … the lives of hackers and preppers, Wikileaks members, NSA employees, data martyrs, political underdogs, hermits, cult members, extremists … the Darknet, Julien Assange, Edward Snowden, the blackout in NY, Chernobyl and Fukushima, the control center of the CIA, the Chaos Computer Club, North Korea, the right wing movement, Children of God, Suprematism, the Bauhaus, Zero, insular colonies, ‘Apocalypse Now’, ‘The Wolfpack’, digital inventions and radical social networks …

KW Institute for Contemporary Art

KW Institute for Contemporary Art aims to approach the central questions of our times through the production, display, and dissemination of contemporary art. Since its inception, 25 years ago, KW has established itself, not only as an institution, but also as a dynamic and lively space for progressive practices within the Berlin art scene, as well as in an international context. By means of exhibitions and various event formats, KW has aligned itself towards the current tendencies of the national and international art and cultural discourse, and has actively developed them on a collaborative level with artists, institutions, and by means of commissioned works. As an institution for contemporary art without a collection of its own, the team at KW maintains a high degree of flexibility in creating its programs and addressing its audience. Under the responsibility of director Krist Gruijthuijsen, the current program evolves around the central objective of using the participating artists’ perspective as a starting point, entailing their subjects and points of view as ways to reflect on social and political issues. The institution is thereby conceived as a social space that facilitates contemplation and exchange between different protagonists and cultures, consistently challenging its audience.

Kunsthaus Dahlem

Kunsthaus Dahlem is an exhibition venue for postwar German modernism (East and West). It is administered and operated by Atelierhaus Dahlem, a non-profit subsidiary of the Bernhard Heiliger Foundation founded in 2013. Located at the edge of the Grunewald, the building was open as an exhibition venue in summer 2015 after a renovation and dismantling in accordance with historic preservation standards. There will also be a permanent exhibition on the building’s eventful history, free-of-charge to visitors. One essential area of concentration of the exhibition venue is the presentation of sculpture, supplemented by painting, prints and drawings, and photography. It focuses in particular on the years from 1945 to 1961. The museum is located on Käuzchensteig in Berlin-Dahlem.     Photo: Kunsthaus Dahlem, Foto: Jürgen Pleuser, 2015.
