Life

Brigitte Springmühl, also Gitte Springmühl, later known as Gitte Hähner-Springmühl first studied concert guitar for six years at the Robert Schumann Conservatory in Zwickau before moving to Karl-Marx-Stadt, now Chemnitz, in 1971. In 1973 she married the artist Klaus Hähner-Springmühl , who had a strong influence on the young art scene in Karl-Marx-Stadt. She had started studying literature and librarianship in Leipzig, but then carried out various activities.

From around 1978 the first autodidactic drawings and pictures for literature were available, e.g. B. to the schizophrenic poet Ernst Herbeck . Although divorced in 1979, she worked with Klaus Hähner-Springmühl on actions, performances and free improvisational music, including in the formation of the potato peeling machine . This took place on site in the private studios (Hinterhof Richterstraße 9) and the few apartment galleries such as Galerie Oben or EIGEN + ART ( Gerd Harry Lybke ). The alternative art scene was under observation by informal employees , including from the scene itself, the Ministry for State Security , including Gitte Hähner-Springmühl.

In 1989 she published 31 copies of the artist book Homeless Zone 1 with texts and 17 z. Some hand-colored serigraphs.

Exhibitions and projects

She had her first solo exhibition from 1988 in the Hermannstrasse Gallery in Chemnitz, others followed in private galleries. In West Germany, attention was drawn to the art scene in Chemnitz, so her works could be shown in the New Chemnitz exhibition in 1990 in Munich. From 1991 to 1993 she worked intensively on the subject of "underflight - overflight", which was also the title of an exhibition in 1995 in the Städtisches Museum Zwickau and the Galerie Oben in Chemnitz. In 1999 and 2000 she realized the land art projects "Seh -zeichen I + II" at the ART Gallery Scheel, Morsum (Sylt) .
