SINDY BUTZ [NYC/GERMANY]
Sindy Butz is a Visual and Performance Artist. She creates Narratives, Artifacts/Wearables and Installations with a thematic focus on mankind and human awareness. She enjoys exploring a very broad spectrum of interests during her research periods such as Moral-/ Philosophy, Perspectivism, Traditions/Romantic Crafts/Rituals and Human Identity. Her self- developed conceptual and empiric studies play an important role in her work in process and become a fundamental influence in the formation of her body of work. Nevertheless her philosophic explorations and questioning are shared on a very personal, intimate and emotional level with the viewer.
Sindy Butz was born in East Germany, grew up in the suburbs of East Berlin and now lives and works in New York. She holds a B.F.A. in Sculpting/AKI- ARTez Netherlands, a M.F.A. in Art Science/ UdK Berlin and was Fellow at ITP Tisch/New York University in 2010.
She has received the 2010 DAAD Artist- Research Grant on wearable ceramics for the Interactive Telecommunications Program at New York University. There she additionally focused on Fashioning Technology.
