Event overview
Public Programme lecture with Mariele Neudecker
"Landscapes are charged with history, with politics and ideas that cut deep into our consciousness. My work keeps returning to looking at landscape and still-life traditions in art, dealing simultaneously with questions around technology, science, changes to our environment, collective experience and time. I examine what defines the line between nature and landscape and reflect on how any definition of the contemporary sublime is continuously changing. "
Mariele Neudecker was born in Germany, where she studied as well as in Cork, Ireland and London, UK. She now lives and works in Bristol, UK. Neudecker is Professor of Fine Art at Bath School of Art, Film and Media; where she runs the research cluster “Material | Art | Science | Environment | Research” (M|A|S|E|R) jointly with Dr Ben Parry, a forum that addresses questions around overlapping developments in the Arts, Sciences and the Environment. She is a Guest Artist on the Arts at CERN Program and exhibits her work widely around Europe as well as the rest of the world.
In her work Neudecker is exploring the interphases and overlaps of the two and three-dimensional, as well as analogue and digital. She uses a wide range of media including sculpture, painting, film, photography as well as sound, - with the quest to find a ‘Contemporary Sublime’ - and has a particular interest in Art, Science and the Environment. Her practice often takes us to the thresholds of human experience; she tests our perception of natural and scientific realities. Neudecker often uses technology’s virtual capabilities in order to reproduce a heightened experience of landscapes; for her, technology both enables and limits our comprehension and exposure of the worlds we inhabit. She is working with Thomas Rehbein Galerie, Cologne, InCamera Galerie, Paris and Galeria Pedro Cera, Lisbon.
