展览｜卡婷卡·柏克个展“NIKOS”黄金周免费观展

卡婷卡·柏克（Katinka Bock）出生于1976年的法兰克福。从2001年开始，她居住在柏林及巴黎两地。

柏克在创作媒介上偏向使用低调和自然的材料，例如陶土、木料、石膏、陶瓷、皮革、织物等。通过使用简单而精细的手法，她经常将材料与现成物联系在一起。对于艺术家来说，被使用过的材料拥有某种超越了物质性的特质。这些材料同时也具有挑衅性，因为它们在进行概念化的过程中能够激发深层的、立即的情感。在她的创作中，柏克先要了解展览空间，再用她的作品与之共鸣。同样地，她也用作品创作出思维空间，低调地邀请观众来反思和自省。

柏克曾参与过大量的艺术驻地项目，包括在法国、美国、德国和意大利的美地奇庄园（罗马，2012-2013）。在2012年，她获得保乐力加企业基金会杰出艺术家奖。在2015年，她获得西班牙博坦基金会的视觉艺术奖。她也被提名马塞尔·杜尚奖并获得法国 1% Marché de l'art 奖。

Katinka Bock was born in 1976 in Frankfurt am Main. Since 2001, she lives and works between Berlin and Paris.

Katinka Bock has a predilection for modest and natural materials like terracotta, wood, plaster, ceramic, leather and fabric. With a sort of delicate simplicity, she often associates these materials to found objects. For the artist, used materials hold a sense of something beyond their materiality. They are provocative because of the way in which they evoke deep, immediate emotions that precede conceptualisation. In her practice, Bock invests in the exhibition spaces and conceives her works in resonance. Just the same, she crafts a mental space in her work to subtly invite spectator to reflect.

Katinka Bock has been selected for artist residencies in France, USA, Germany and Italy at the Villa Medici, Rome in 2012-2013.  In 2012 she was winner of the prestigious Fondation d’entreprise Ricard prize, France. In 2015 she received the Visual Arts Grant of the Fundación Botín, Spain. She was nominated for the Prix Marcel Duchamp, France, and won the Prix de production 1% Marché de l'art, France.
