BIOGRAPHY

Born in 1965 in Düsseldorf, Germany, Mariele Neudecker lives and works in Bristol. Neudecker uses a broad range of media including sculpture, film and photography. Her practice investigates the formation and historical dissemination of cultural constructs around the natural world, focusing particularly on representations of landscape within the Northern European Romantic tradition and on the notion of the Sublime. Neudecker’s models, projections and installations of landscapes are often theatrically staged to reveal their own spectacular mechanisms. They are rendered in a precise yet slightly imperfect way as a means of strategically opening up a gap between the work’s material presence and the persuasiveness of its representation. Neudecker often relies on technology’s virtual capabilities to reproduce a heightened experience of nature, thus addressing the subjective and mediated condition of any first hand encounter. Central to her work is a human interest and relationship to landscape: the ways in which its images might be used metaphorically to describe psychological conditions. In recent works, Neudecker has extended her investigation to classical music, examining the pathos and evocative power of works by Handel, Schubert, Mahler and Britten.

Mariele Neudecker has exhibited widely internationally, including solo shows in Ikon Gallery, Tate St Ives, Tate Britain, and also in Biennales in Japan, Australia and Singapore. She has made a number of public commissions and won a variety of prizes, residencies and is included in numerous collections, publications, catalogues and essays. In 2010 she was shortlisted for The Fourth Plinth, Trafalgar Square, London. Solo exhibitions include Hinterland, Mariele Neudecker, Kunstmuseum Trondheim, Norway, Heterotopias and Other Domestic Landscapes, Brighton Festival, lead artist for HOUSE, Brighton, Parhelion (2012), Thomas Rehbein Gallery, Cologne, Mariele Neudecker, Galerie Barbara Thumm, Berlin (2010);

Group exhibitions include MODEL, Galerie Rudolfinum Praha (2015), ANTARCTROPIA at the Antarctic Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale (2014), ARCTIC, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek, Denmark (2013), Otherworldly: Artist Dioramas and Small Spectacles, MAD Museum, New York, USA and GSK Contemporary: EARTH: ART IN A CHANGING WORLD Royal Academy of Arts, London, UK (2009).
