In spring, the Kunsthalle Giessen is showing an exhibition with Céline Ducrot and Cathrin Hoffmann.
Céline Ducrot (*1992 in Fribourg, Switzerland) lives and works in Biel/Bienne CH. She is a graduate of the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig and exhibits internationally, including in 2023 in the group exhibition FEMBOT, The Hole, New York City, at the National Gallery, Prague CZE, Kunsthaus Biel, Biel/Bienne CHE, Antichambre Bern CHE, Kunstraum Satellite, Thun CHE, KRONE COURONNE, Biel/Bienne CHE. Her work was honored at the Swiss Design Awards 2018 and the Prix Anderfuhren 2018 and was nominated for the Swiss Design Award 2022. As an illustrator, her work has been published in various publications and institutions such as Die Zeit, FAZ Quarterly, Pro Helvetia, Fachstelle Kultur Kanton Zürich and WOZ die Wochenzeitung
Cathrin Hoffmann is a German-Iranian artist based in Berlin. Through painting, sculpture, and installation, her work explores the challenges of human existence in the post-digital age, addressing themes of alienation, climate change, and socio-political crises. Central to her work is the question: What happens if we replace the physical body with a digital existence? Her distinctive style merges mechanical, geometric forms with fluid distortions, evoking the modern era yet reexamining its social and technological biases. Hoffmann’s practice blurs the line between virtuality and reality, combining digital gradients with physical textures to create emotional resonance. Her work has been featured in Monopol, Juxtapoz, Hypebeast, and more.
