Education

Sieverding graduated in 2007 with an MFA from the Berlin University of the Arts where she studied under Stan Douglas, [2] Ellen Cantor, Dieter Appelt, Sabeth Buchmann, and Katja Diefenbach. In 2002, she attended the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and in 2005 the Surikov Art Institute in Moscow. [3]

Work

The artist's work questions traditional concepts of gender, [4] culture, [5] and normality; capturing both specific social spaces and the unique people who live in them. Sieverding's work primarily analyses the relationship between her subjects- individuals who range from women in traditional Islamic dress to drag queens, [6] performance actors [7] and the Berlin club scene- [8] to their bodies. In recent years the artist has added to her work the depiction of equally unique architecture which is portrayed as means of being a specific social space. [7] Continuously throughout the artist's work, materiality plays a significant role: be it elements of concrete and glass in Close to Concrete I and II, hair in To The Crowned And Conquering Child or textiles as in the photo series Text I-VI. [9] In cooperation with Orson Sieverding, the artist develops electronic soundscapes for her installations which when projected onto her protagonists transform into urban echoes. [9]

Grants

Sieverding has won an art grant from the Senate of Berlin twice, in 2008 and 2014. [10] In 2011 Sieverding was invited as an artist in residence at the Meet Factory in Prague, the Maumaus in Lisbon, and as a visiting lecturer at the International Art Academy in Ramallah, Palestine [5] where she received an art grant from the Anna Lindh Foundation. [11] Today the artist resides and works in Berlin. [5]
