Madeline Stillwell (USA), b. 1978
Madeline Stillwell was based in New York (2000-2006), Detroit (2006-2008), and currently lives & works in Berlin (2008-present). Growing up, she moved cities 11 times before the age of 14, and has continued to move 8 times as an adult. Perhaps her artistic practice has something to do with this: the nature of 'moving through' something--a search for grounding amidst the nature of instability.
Her work has been exhibited exhibited in New York, Berlin, Seoul, Rennes France, Basel Swizerland, Miami, Philadelphia, & Detroit. She has been invited as a Visiting Artist at Universities such as Rhode Island School of Art & Design, European College of Liberal Arts, & Lüdwig Maximillians Universität. She received a Master’s of Fine Arts Degree from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2008, and currently teaches Performance at the Evangelische Hochschule Berlin.
"I see Art as a moment of clarity amidst the mess of structures we attempt to arrange and re-arrange around ourselves. Life throws us a big pile of leftovers, and we are challenged to make something out of it. I aim to present a collective material rupture alongside an internalization of the transformative self."
