Meet the Artist:
AiB in Conversation with Claudia Chaseling
Thursday, July 30, 2020
Art-in-Buildings is pleased to invite you to a lunchtime conversation with AiB alum Claudia Chaseling. Please join us to learn more about her work and ask a few questions!
Art-in-Buildings has collaborated with artist Claudia Chaseling on spatial paintings in New York City and Milwaukee! Her project mutopia 2 is installed at the skywalk entrance at 310W. Chaseling’s spatial paintings play with the audience's perception of the architecture of their environment through the application of playful lines, bright, abstracted forms, and reflective aluminum sheets. The bright colors and reflective aluminum are a beautiful mask for the pernicious subject matter, which imagines mutated landscapes resulting from the spread of uranium and radiation.
Claudia Chaseling is an international artist, born in Munich and living and working in Berlin and Canberra, Australia. Her work has been exhibited in over sixty solo and group exhibitions, notably in the United States, Australia and Europe. She has been featured in the X-Border Biennial, Finland, the Luela Biennial, Sweden and the Lorne Biennial, Australia. Recent projects include solo exhibitions at Wollongong Art Gallery, Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, Krohne Art Collection, Yuill Crowely Gallery, Kunstverein Duisburg and at Art-in-Buildings, New York City, among others. Her latest group exhibitions include Momentum, Berlin, Krohne Art Collection, Eifel, Germany and Yuill Crowely Gallery, Sydney. Major grants and scholarships received include DAAD, Samstag Scholarship, Karl Hofer Prize, Australia Council for the Arts Grant, artsACT Grants, IGNITE Career Fund and Harris&Hobbs Material Award. Claudia has taken part in various visiting artists programs and residencies and is currently undertaking a Vice Chancellors Creative Research Fellowship at the Fenner School, ANU. "Verlag für zeitgenoessische Kunst und Theorie Berlin” published her extensive monograph in 2016 and she completed her studio-based PhD in visual arts this year at the ANU in Canberra.
