life and work

Büttner studied fine arts at the Berlin University of the Arts and became a master student of Dieter Hacker in 2000 . From 2003 to 2004 she studied at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen and at the Humboldt University in Berlin , where she completed her master's degree in art history and philosophy. From 2005 to 2008 she moved to the Royal College of Art in London and received her doctorate with her dissertation on shame as an aesthetic feeling .

Büttner works with a variety of artistic media in which she deals with old and new myths. Religion is a recurring theme in her work, as is her preoccupation with her colleagues in modern and contemporary art.

Büttner inserts drawings, photographs , sculptures as well as film and sound works into her room installations . Protagonists of modern art history appear in her large-format woodcuts , from which she works out negative forms in rough gestures. Dieter Roth and Martin Kippenberger meet on the Bridge of Sighs, Wassily Kandinsky appears in traditional costume in the Bavarian countryside or, as in “All my favorite artists had problems with alcohol”, she uses written solutions.

In 2010 Büttner was awarded the Max Mara Art Prize for Women, awarded by the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London in collaboration with the Max Mara fashion house . The award was combined with a six-month scholarship in Italy, during which Büttner examined the artistic practice of Arte Povera .

In 2012 Büttner was appointed professor for drawing at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz . Since 2017 she has been professor for art in a contemporary context at the Kunsthochschule Kassel .

In 2017 Büttner was nominated for the annually awarded Turner Prize and honored with an exhibition in the Ferens Art Gallery in Kingston upon Hull, Northern England.

Büttner lives and works in London and Frankfurt am Main .
