Marie Jaksch
(US)

Marie Jaksch's performative works and installations deal with political and social issues and range from room-spanning works with performative sound elements and video sculptures to immersive live moments. The performative strategies are usually part of an overall composition within the framework of an installation. The artist thus explores the boundaries between pictorial space and detail, between sound and language, moving image, and live observation.

She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich with Prof Julian Rosefeldt and became his Meisterschülerin in 2021. Before that, she studied at the Berlin University of the Arts with Prof Florance von Gerkan from 2008 to 2013.

Marie Jaksch's works have been exhibited at the Louvre Museum Paris, Gotheinstitut Paris, Haus der Kulturen der Welt Berlin, Kunstarkaden and Arthotek Munich, Kunstverein Leipzig, atelier automatque, Bochum or Galerie der Künstler/innen, Munich, Galerie Lovaas, Hotel Mariandel at the project "Zimmer frei", Munich. She has received numerous scholarships and awards, including the Europäische Kunststipendium des Bezirks Oberbayern twice, in 2023 and 2020, and the scholarship of the Stiftung Kunstfonds in 2021.
