Biography
Dagmar studied Painting at Academy of Fine Art in Hamburg and graduated with Prof. Sigmar
Polke. She also completed a Master of Education in Art and Philosophy. She has been teachingart and philosophy at schools and universities since 2010. She currently teaches students at
College Sutherland in Hamburg.
Since 2016 she is curating in MOM artspace as an artist-curator.
Dagmar lives as a freelance artist in Hamburg. Her painting thrives on a high degree of emotional expressiveness. The paint is applied to the film in quick swings, where it clumps together.
Although the painting always focuses on a pictorial center, which mostly consists of one ormore bodies, the compositions demonstrate openness towards the edges of the picture. Openness, transparency, glaze, heaviness, opaqueness or corporeality are some of the opposites
inherent in the image, which in Dagmar Rauwald’s painting are set against each other with tension.
Since the self-evidence of a hybrid everyday life in the early 2000s, the artist has opened her
discourse on transparent foils, which are sometimes staggered, sometimes used individually.
Whereas in the beginning up to three transparencies were placed one after the other to makeseveral moments tangible, her art now transports the present moment more and more clearly.
The use of individual transparencies comes into focus in order to make contact with the outside
world like a slide. The pictorial theme reflects abstractly and withdrawnly the here and now, influenced by the masses of media in the form of press images and political context that confront
us daily.
As a conceptual painter, she explores the spaces between painterly empathy and analyticalstructures in the context of changing codes, not least because of this she opens up the medium
for current social-political issues. Her focus is on the examination of the history of women andfemale artists.

She has received national and international awards and has participated in numerous soloand group exhibitions including: 2023 ‘Performance’ | Cambridge art space, 2022 ‘Enclosures’| New York,
2020 ‘Dear All’, Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof; 2019 ‘Measuring Beauty | WabiSabi meets
West’, C.A.P. Conference of Art Projects, Kobe, Japan; 2018 ‘Ongoingness’, Hamburg Museum for Arts and Crafts, Hamburg; 2017 ‘Donation Act’, Mom art space, Hamburg; ‘Impermanent Codes’, Kunsthaus Hamburg; 2012 ‘Models of a Better World’, Galerie von Loeper, Hamburg; 2005 ‘L’Ambivalence du Blanc’, Uhde Gallery, Toulouse.
In 2023 she was awarded funding from Project Funding “Art Connetcts” for the project ‘HybridWar’ and from the Hamburg Department of Culture with the project „Shefarersparde“ for theElbkulturfond.
In 2019, she received a grant from the Kobe Bunkna Shien Foundation as part of an artist
residency in Japan. Here she realised the exhibition “Measuring Beauty”.
In 2014 she was invited by Sichuan Art University to realise an intercultural project with artists
from Germany and China.
In 2013, she initiated the project series “Social Bookmarking”. In the intercultural projects, sheworks in cooperation with artists on the history of urban spaces and artistic interventions tomake social, political and historical conditions visible.
