Exhibition at Kunstraum Remise: Cäcilia Brown

Cäcilia Brown (*1983 in Sens, FR) grew up in Oberdorf near Salzburg and studied performative sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and for a year at Marmara University in Istanbul. The artist, who lives in Vienna and Lower Austria, teaches and lectured at the University of Art and Design Linz, the University of Applied Arts Vienna, at the Stone Sculptors' Symposium at the Salzburg Summer Academy, she enjoys giving lectures and works a lot with children. Several studio grants have enabled her to work in Taiwan, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Tokyo and Beijing. In 2024 she was awarded the Otto Mauer Prize.

"I work with themes that structure public space - order, use, entitlement, questions of hierarchy, infrastructure and resources, but these themes are difficult to grasp. So I work with fragments. I see the materials I work with as an archive. I don't invent the themes, so it makes sense to work with material that already exists as a fragment, as a document of our environment.

I like to look at sculptural qualities from a linguistic perspective or vice versa - while in an earlier group of works I let my sculptures hang around in the exhibition space, in another series I work with the idea of leaning and holding - these terms are just as much actions as they can be used to describe a sculpture. Ultimately, it's about the combination of materials and content. In one of my series I deliberately worked with bad connections - both in terms of content and sculpturally bad connections."
