transformation everywhere!

research, curating, writing, coaching - a holistic approach

I am a Berlin-based art and visual historian and systemic coach with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches dealing with time, space and transformation at the intersection of art, ecology and technology. In my research and curatorial practice I develop and implement interdisciplinary exhibitions, community programs, education and publication projects in the field of visual and performing arts for international cultural institutions including Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, Kunsthalle Mannheim, Munich's Pinakothek der Moderne, and Nationalgalerie – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (Alte Nationalgalerie, Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin, Museum Berggruen, Neue Nationalgalerie).

I graduated from University of Heidelberg and am currently based at the Institute of Art and Visual History at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, writing my PhD Thesis, holding a full scholarship by Gerda Henkel Stiftung. In 2022 I joined the Cluster of Excellence »Matters of Activity. Image Space Material« at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin as Associated Member and PhD Candidate as part of MoA's Doctoral Program.

In my PhD Thesis "Strategies of (Re-)Staging process-based Art by Otto Piene within the Context of the 1960s" in the field of art and visual studies I research on the analog and digital (re-)stagings of process-based and inter-media art from the late 1950s until today and their potential for sustainable archival and curatorial practices. The focus is put on artist Otto Piene who experimented with natural phenomena, light and slide installations. Furthermore, I research on links between visual interpretations of natural phenomena and social discourses in art and design and seek to contribute to a genealogy of an ecological aesthetic.

As systemic business coach I support clients to bring their inner voice and outer appearance in balance. I help to discover, develop and implement strategies for daily and long-term challenges within the business context. I offer my expertise as an ECA-certified systemic business coach with a demonstrated history of working in the cultural industry and academia to discuss topics related to sustainable workflows, the (re-)discovering of individual resources, such as mindset, skills, and network and the implementation of methods to empower and ease up the individual transformation process.

Skilled in curating, cultural and publication management, researching, writing, lecturing, science communication and systemic coaching – all connected through a holistic approach.
