Addie Wagenknecht “Shellshock”
Bitforms Gallery
This event has ended.
Austrian-based American artist Addie Wagenknecht’s first solo exhibition in the United States opens at bitforms gallery in New York’s Lower East Side. Wagenknecht builds installations, interventions, paintings and sculpture that investigate the cultural connection between technology and social interaction. In her work, a critical space between lived experience and sculpture emerges, as she plays with the contemporary anxieties of post-Snowden information culture.
Formally trained in computer science, Wagenknecht is a member of the New York-based arts and activist group Free Art and Technology Lab (also known as “F.A.T. Lab”). A leader of the open source hardware movement, she co-founded NORTD Labs with Stefan Hechenberger in 2007, creating projects that have been used and built by millions worldwide. The first solo exhibition of Wagenknecht’s work was presented in Dublin in June 2014. Her installation work has also been exhibited recently at Phillips, New York; Museumsquartier, Vienna; Haus für electroniches Künste, Basel; LEAP Berlin; and Eyebeam Art + Technology Center, New York.
