Nicoleta Auersperg (she/her)
*1991, Buenos Aires, Argentina
ABOUT:
In her sculptural practice, Nicoleta Auersperg engages with the process of form-finding and permanently re-explores it.
For her, the term not only stands for a sculptural process, but always for time- bound, social transformation processes and cultural phenomena that are constantly evolving and changing and that her work reflects upon.
Born in 1991 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Nicoleta Auersperg studied Transdisciplinary Art at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna and Textual Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna as well as in the Glass Department at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam. Her work is exhibited internationally, can be found in public collections, and has been awarded prizes and grants.
She is co-founder of the exhibition space GOMO and lives and works in Vienna and Berlin.
