Artwork: Gestures of Slight Grandeurby Janine Eggert

About the Artist

Janine Eggert studied fine arts at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts and at Ar.Co, Çentro de Arte & Comunicaçao Visual, Lisbon. As an artist she moves between the media of sculpture, installation, printmaking and video and works artistically both as an individual and since 2005 together with Philipp Ricklefs as a duo. Her works have been exhibited internationally in Zurich, New York, Miami, London and Valencia. For 2023, she has received a grant from Villa Aurora in Los Angeles. In her artistic work, Janine is primarily concerned with the value contradictions of our time. Drawing from a wide range of techniques and materials, she develops counter-designs to existing functional assignments, economic demands and patriarchal power structures in her investigations of the designed world.
