Description

Visualizing Hidden Structures in Art and Society

In her artistic practice, Andrea Buttner combines art history with social and ethical issues. Since the early 2000s, she has been exploring a wide range of themes such as work, poverty, shame, and care in monastic forms of coexistence, but also arts and crafts as a political field.

Examining the ambivalent tension between aesthetics and ethics, the internationally renowned artist uses various conceptual methods. Best known for her large-scale woodcuts, Buttner has since utilized a variety of media, including etching, painting, photography and video installations, glass art, and textiles.

For her publications and exhibitions, Buttner composes her works thematically to create site-specific installations that can be experienced as gradually unfolding narratives.
