CV

Luise Schröder is a visual artist working in Paris, Leipzig and Berlin. She studied Photography and Media Arts at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig, Germany. Within her artistic practice she is dealing with history and memory and their significance for the present. She is interested in how cultures of remembrance and commemoration are influenced and formed by political agendas, media and image production and how this affects identities and communities.

In recent years, Luise Schröder has taken part in numerous single and group exhibitions, among others at the Rencontres International Paris/Berlin (FRANCE), at the Kunsthalle Baden Baden (GER), at the Gallery EIGEN+ART (Berlin/Leipzig, GER), and at the 7th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art in Berlin. Alongside numerous other distinctions, the artist got the C/O Talents Preis [C/O Talents Award] in 2012, the SpallArt Price Salzburg in 2020 and the Young Talent Award of the Federal State of Brandenburg in 2021. Furthermore she was holding a residency at the Villa Aurora in Los Angeles in 2016 and was awarded a residency at Cité internationale des arts in 2018/19 in Paris by the German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media. In 2019/2020, she received the photography grant Regards du Grand Paris #4 supported by the French Ministry of Culture Cnap and Ateliers Médicis. This enabled her to realise her work: LA BARRICADE - Existing as a promise. She is currently working on her publication: Strömungen in Bewegung, which is supported by the Stiftung Kunstfonds Bonn.
