Ines Sch\u00e4fer has been studying at the Kassel University of Arts since 2015. In 2024, she earned her Master of Fine Arts degree under the guidance of Mounira al Solh and Jan Peters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ines Sch\u00e4fer\u2019s work is shaped by a long and intensive engagement with the themes and issues of contemporary discourse. Methodologically, she moves between strategies of artistic research, biographical approaches, and the intuitive exploration and processing of artistic forms. For Ines Sch\u00e4fer, this working strategy necessarily leads to a multimedia approach\u2014spanning performance, video, installation, and painting\u2014through which she weaves her own insights with the viewers\u2019 potential experiences. Thanks to her many years of study in Mounira Al Solh\u2019s class, Sch\u00e4fer\u2019s works are characterized by multidimensional experiential offerings. A performative approach flows into numerous works and is a continuous part of the creative process within the artistic space. By interweaving digital and analog media\u2014sometimes with recurring motifs\u2014the artist discovers new ways of engaging with her subjects. At the core of these explorations is a fundamental questioning of established theoretical and aesthetic structures and routines. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In Sch\u00e4fer\u2019s works, variable spaces emerge that, through shifts in media and a multi-layered choreography of reception, generate an exchange between the artist\u2019s perceptions and those of the viewers. Through this approach, Ines Sch\u00e4fer challenges traditional forms of reception by situating herself, her art, and the viewers together within a continuum of discourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through her work in the art and culture collective \u201cmania,\u201d Ines Sch\u00e4fer explores\u2014building on her own practice\u2014the theme of the artist\u2019s solitary position and, through collective action and collaboration, creates a complex cultural context characterized by a plurality of opinions and forms, as well as transdisciplinarity, leading to nuanced art and exhibition concepts. Through this collaboration with other artists within the collective, as well as in cooperation with other artists and collectives, a sustainable capacity for discourse emerges that is in constant dialogue with Sch\u00e4fer\u2019s own artistic practice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
