BIOGRAPHY
Andrea Büttner was born in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1972 and studied art, art history and philosophy. In 2010, she completed a PhD on shame and art at the Royal College of Art, London and was awarded the Max Mara Art Prize for Women. Recent solo exhibitions include Andrea Büttner, Milton Keynes Gallery, Milton Keynes (2013); Andrea Büttner, MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt am Main (2013); Andrea Büttner, International Project Space, Birmingham (2012); Moos/Moss, Hollybush Gardens, London (2012); The Poverty of Riches, Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia, Italy and Whitechapel Gallery, London (both 2011); and Three New Works, Artpace, San Antonio, Texas (2011). She participated in Documenta 13 (2012) and the Bienal de São Paulo (2010). She teaches at the Academy of Fine Arts, Mainz and lives and works in London and Frankfurt am Main.
 
Andrea uses numerous different media in her works including: woodcutting, glass painting, clay sculpture screen printing, video and performance.  Andrea makes use of sound in many of her installations such as “Roth Reading” and the 16 mm film projection “I feel same – we feel shame – I feel shame.” Many of her works hold a mirror up to society and force viewers to re-think their interpretations of their personal lives. Her ten-minute film, “Little Works” is unique in its ability to capture an interesting combination of art and religion. Andrea was not allowed to film inside the convent, so she instructed one of the nuns on how to use the camera.  She discovers similarities between the craftwork of the nuns and the self-doubts that professional artists often feel and presents these similarities through the medium of film.
