Anna Virnich

Anna Virnich (born 1984) lives and works in Berlin. Her practice centers around textile based tableaus which surfaces must be understood as membranes and as such in a state of constant inter-penetration. The manipulative and oftentimes fetishising treatment of materials and a latent presence of the corporeal manifests in objects, whose formal composition spans from symbolic exotism to stringently calculated image construction.

The most recent solo exhibitions took place at Kjubh (Cologne), Kienbaum Collection (Cologne), Kunstverein Heppenheim (2024), Drei (Cologne, 2023), Robert Grunenberg (Berlin, 2022), Frieze (with Drei, London, 2021), Schering Stiftung (Berlin), Proyectos Monclova (Mexico City, 2019.
