MARY-AUDREY RAMIREZ – Unsolicited Awakening

In the organizer's words:

Mary-Audrey Ramirez (*1990 in Luxembourg City; lives and works in Berlin) creates fantasy creatures that conquer space through digital installations and fabric sculptures. Rooted in "gaming", the world of computer games, since childhood, she draws us into her cosmos, in which virtuality and reality merge. Her apocalyptic and at the same time humorous visual language refers to our joy in escapism as well as to the thrill inherent in the possibilities of new technologies. For her solo exhibition at KAI 10 | ARTHENA FOUNDATION, she transforms the rooms into an immersive science fiction course with specially composed sounds and lighting effects that resembles immersion in a video game. A self-developed game invites the audience to play.

Mary-Audrey Ramirez studied fine arts at the UdK Berlin and has had solo exhibitions at Casino Luxembourg (until April 28, 2024), Kunsthalle Gießen, Dortmunder Kunstverein, Overbeck Gesellschaft Lübeck and Trauma Bar and Kino Berlin. She has participated in group exhibitions at the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, KAI 10 | ARTHENA FOUNDATION, Düsseldorf, Haus Mödrath, Kerpen and Berghain, Berlin, among others. She is represented by Galerie Martinetz, Cologne.
