Rosemarie Trockel (*1952 in Schwerte, lives and works in Cologne and Berlin) became known in the 1980s for her machine-made knitted pictures and stove-plate series, which reinterpret gendered connotations of materials and techniques of art production and make provocative allusions to male-dominated art movements. Her multifaceted artistic oeuvre, which includes sculpture, installation, photography, film, and drawing, is characterized by subtle social criticism and an ongoing expansion of the concept of art, as well as by the artist’s self-reflexive approach to her own work. Trockel constantly recontextualizes, reworks, and transforms what already exists. By consciously emphasizing these transformative processes in her artistic practice, Trockel questions normative beliefs, power relations, cultural categories, and aesthetics. For the n.b.k. Editions 2022 series, Rosemarie Trockel proposed two new works – Eat My Eyes and When Red Becomes Blue – which she created in the context of recent political events. Trockel was awarded the Roswitha Haftmann Prize in 2014 and in 2011 received the Kaiserring from the city of Goslar. Her works have been on view, among others, at the Venice Biennale (2022; 2019; 1999 – first solo presentation by a female artist in the German Pavilion); Moderna Museet, Malmö (2018); Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli, Turin (2016); Kunsthaus Bregenz (2015); Museo National Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid (2012); New Museum, New York (2012); Serpentine Gallery, London (2012).
