Common Sense
Anna Maria Bogner

Anna-Maria Bogner is an Austrian artist living in Dusseldorf (Germany), who came to ´ace to work on a site-specific installation in the Políglota Room. There, Anna-Maria made use of the elements that she explores in her minimalist language –geometry, perspectives, black and white, clean lines– to alter the spectator’s sense of physical presence through the manipulation of space. Her residency at ´ace offered Anna-Maria the unique opportunity to experiment with printmaking techniques. This opened up entirely new avenues for artistically processing ideas, techniques, and materials.

In Anna-Maria’s own words: The ´ace team, led by Alicia Candiani, spared no effort in networking with the local and international art scene, providing support, and assistance beyond the core themes of my residency. Thanks also go to the excellent visual processing and visibility of all these wonderful experiences. The conclusion of these enriching five weeks is marked by my exhibition Common Sense, in which I present a space installation that was created during my residency at the Fundación´ace para el Arte Contemporáneo in Buenos Aires. It invites us to reflect on the constant transformation of our existence.
