Monika Grabuschnigg is a Berlin-based artist working across sculpture, installation and drawing. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in 2011, with visiting studies at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem and Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago de Chile.
Grabuschnigg’s work employs a variety of media while continuously returning to clay. The solidity, tactility, and natural origin of this material offers a contradiction to the digital age. She processes familiar objects into installations and sculptures by engaging with popular culture, philosophy, memory and dream. Contemplating the darker aspects and essences of life, Grabuschnigg consistently explores how external forces shape values, beliefs, and desires.
In 2020 she received a grant from the Stiftung Kunstfonds Bonn; in 2018 she was awarded the Berlin Art Prize. Her works are represented in private collections around the world, and several public institutions including the State Museum Vorarlberg, the Artothek des Bundes in Vienna, and the Graphic Collection of the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna. Recent solo exhibitions include: Razed in Isolation, Carbon 12 Gallery, Dubai (2021); Burned against the rear fender, Lehmann+Silva Gallery, Porto (2021); Violent Delights, DOCK 20, Austria (2020); In delirium I wear my body, Studioraum 45cbm, Kunsthalle Baden-Baden (2019).
