Kerstin Brätsch (b.1976, Hamburg, Germany), lives in New York

Kerstin Brätsch creates strange hybrids of painting, design, and performance. She further expands her practice through her collaboration with other artists as a member of DAS INSTITUT. This kind of decentred approach to art making is typical of many of her contemporaries, who view art not as a static set of constructs, but as an opportunity to produce relationships between different media and different practices. Recent solo shows and collaborative shows include Serpentine Gallery (London, 2015), Städtische Galerie (Nordhorn, 2014), The Green Gallery (Milwaukee, 2014), Gio Marconi Gallery (Milan, 2012), Kunsthalle Zürich (2011) and Deste Foundation (Athens, 2011). The artist is represented by Gavin Brown Enterprise (New York) and Balice Hertling (Basel/Paris).
