Nina Nowak (DE/PL)

In her artistic practice, Nina Nowak explores the relationship between animate and inanimate matter. Nowak is especially drawn to what she refers to as the “borderlands” that distinguish between living and non-living matter. Informed by anthropology, literature, history and biology, Nowak has developed a practice that is at once research based and materially dedicated. The installation as a functional set-up for different processes of material transformation, and the functional object as an extension of the human body, are recurring themes in her work.

Nina Nowak (b. 1984, Poznan; PL) lives and works between Belin, Germany and Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2018, Nowak was awarded a one-year grant by Stiftung Kunstfonds Bonn. In 2017, the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North-Rhine Westphalia supported her work with an individual working grant. The artist is represented in the collection of Horsens Kunstmuseum, Denmark.
