An Artist Talks, Miriam Wuttke, 23.09.2010, Tacheles, Berlin

Miriam Wuttke is a very exciting artist . She expresses herself through different media,  painting , installation and performance.

She studied  at first abstract painting at the art sudents league, then art therapy in combination with fine arts. Thus  her work is exploring continuously human behaviour and feelings. Her performances show her great and very precise knowledge of interioration of illnesses and obsessions. She builds the performance around a character that she impersonates for as long a  time as necessary, to allow the subject she is studying to evolve and devellop.

It is a process in which she observes attitudes and patterns. She is wondering about social behaviours and structures, and uses a character to build a close study of them.

With her latest character Silver Silver Silver, a bondage wrapping performance,  she explores the feelings of beeing trap and then liberated from images and stereotypes. It is interesting to recall also the fact that she had to wear a corsette to enhance her spinal court, as a child, and can compare experience from the past and the perfomance.

She is always searching inside of herself and outside in her surrounding to strenghthen the impact of her message, that is a strong social and political critisism of a over fludded culture of images and a certain form of decadence in violence and beliefs.
