Description: The artistic interests of the Manor Award winner Miriam Sturzenegger concern material, matter and the built environment. In her preoccupation with spaces and architecture she focuses on the substance of construction materials, the quality of surfaces or the energies inherent in materials, looks at treatment technologies or the everyday use of material. These features inscribed in the material contribute to determining the artistic form. Via a re-evaluation and transformation of sculptural and material features works are consistently developed in terms of a reduction and in doing so frequently recall architectural elements. Arising from a longer-term preoccupation with the exhibition environment, the works are based on space-forming processes and connections and can be read for example as organising interventions in the space, as a displacement or layering. The exhibition presents a combination of site-specific interventions, newly produced groups of work and selected existing works. Miriam Sturzenegger lives in Bern and works in Emmenbrücke, Switzerland.00Exhibition: Kunsthaus Centre d?art Pasquart, Biel / Bienne, Switzerland (19.09. - 22.11.2020).
