VOYAGE | PART 1

November 14, 2022 by nataschastellmach

The work, Free Passage, is the first in the project, VOYAGE, which researches slow travel across the seas and my parents immigration from Germany to Australia. The Queen Frederica pictured above is the ship my parents traveled on in 1967. That’s them standing on the bow. The blog below describes my recent voyage.

October 12 – November 17, 2018 (extended till November 24) Wagner+Partner | Berlin Portrait Extended includes five new intimate works by Natascha Stellmach that address the changing notion of the self, via personal polaroids with text, paint and nail polish, and frottage (made with the artist’s body). The works in Portrait Extended take into account the search for identity, image and origin. To what extent are we autonomous, or guided by outside forces? And how much power does history and […]

August 3, 2016 by nataschastellmach

September 10 – 25, 2016. 1066 Contemporary Arts Festival Hastings UK | curated by Christopher Winter. The group exhibition, A New Language explores language shifts and cultural changes – and those instigated by the Hastings invasion of 1066. The group of international artists descend on Hastings as an ‘artistic invasion’, with their works investigating themes of acceptance, alienation and displacement in foreign culture. BORIS+NATASCHA’s work from their Oracle series, Words Lie, is a frottage from the grave of Oscar Wilde, […]

PICA SALON | PERTH

June 16, 2011 by nataschastellmach

As a response to our desire for answers and absolutes, the work-on-paper Artist Statement is a framed envelope with Stellmach’s handwritten text (“That’s confidential and kind of magic”) imprinted onto a black wax seal. Inside the sealed envelope is a personal message from the artist. Or is there? Opening the envelope destroys the artwork and renders it worthless on the art market. The work was produced as part of Stellmach’s major project, Complete Burning Away – The Ashes of Kurt […]
