CV | Kristin Wenzel

Kristin Wenzel, born in 1983 in Gotha, East Germany, lives and works in Bucharest and Gotha. She received an MA from the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 2013. Kristin Wenzel’s recent work has shifted towards public space, by imagining structures and alternative ways of dealing with it (which she often coins as proposals or models). With installations, sculptures and interventions, she tackles the implications of public architecture as both ‘memory foam’ – inscribed with it’s particular history – and open source structure – allowing to be strayed from it‘s original design. In 2018, together with the artists Vlad Brăteanu, Alice Gancevici & Remus Pușcariu, she co-founded Template, an artists’ initiative and exhibition project in Bucharest.
