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 has had solo exhibitions at Centre Pasquart in Biel/Bienne, Kleinplastik Triennale, Fellbach; 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, 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.
