Charlotte Mumm: Biased. Paused.

Charlotte Mumm: Biased. Pause. Opening: 15.2.at 6 pm Exhibition will run till 11.3.2018

The exhibition Biased. Pause. is the artist's result of ‘The Spur 16/18 residency’ at Sputnik Oz.

It’s a sketch of patterns, prints and objects.

During her stay in Bratislava, Charlotte Mumm worked with patterns. These patterns are based on a dialogue with befriended artists about what patterns mean in their work. Patterns – not just as a visual decoration but- as a psychological process, a structure and imprint. And how rhetorical habits infuse the visual world and vice versa.

In Biased. Pause. the artist is showing the input and outcome of this dialogue in which she approached patterns as a vehicle looking for clarity or objectivity but simultaneously getting more personal. Through the looking glass. This is accompanied by objects, which are dealing with the ambivalent processes in the pattern making and are providing a counterbalance. All of this is part of an ongoing process.

Charlotte Mumm is living and working in Amsterdam, Netherlands. She studied Fine Arts with Prof. Urs Lüthi at the Kunsthochschule Kassel in Germany from 2000-2008 and spent a study year at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in Chongqing, China.

Her work has been exhibited in Germany and internationally. To name a few: Galerie Tanit in Munich, Städtische Galerie Nordhorn, Kasseler Kunstverein, Eduardo Secci Contemporary in Florence, Galerie Rolando Anselmi in Berlin. Awards and Residencies include e.g. fellowship for the European project ‘The Spur’ in Bratislava, Slovakia, the Saari Residency fellowship from the Kone Foundation, Finland, and a working grant given by the Ministry of Culture Lower Saxony, Germany. In 2018 she is awarded the Werkstattpreis of the Art Foundation Erich Hauser in Rottweil, Germany, and a Sundaymorning@EKWC working grant, Netherlands.
