Asta Gröting
Asta Gröting creates works that translate psychological and social relations into physical forms. She inverts the lexicon of monumental sculpture to draw our attention to absence and the physical and emotional gaps between people and things: whether lovers, family members, or historical figures.
Asta Gröting (b. 1961, Herford) lives and works in Berlin. She was awarded the Gerhard-Altenbourg-Prize 2023, the connected solo exhibition at the Lindenau-Museum will open in August 2023. Gröting has had solo exhibitions at Centre Pasquart in Biel/Bienne, KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art, Berlin; Kunstraum Dornbirn, Austria; ZKM Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologien, Karlsruhe; n.b.k., Berlin; Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz; Henry Moore Institute, Leeds; and MARTa Herford. She has participated in numerous large-scale international exhibitions, including Musée des Beaux-Arts, Paris; Kleinplastik Triennale Fellbach; James-Simon-Galerie; Staatliche Museen zu Berlin; Kunsthalle Bielefeld; 22nd São Paulo Biennial; the 8th and 14th Biennale of Sydney, and the 44th Venice Biennale. Gröting is a professor at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig.
