life and work
From 1970 to 1974 Madeleine Dietz studied at the Werkkunstschule Mannheim (now Mannheim University ). At first she began her artistic work with video works and room installations. On a trip to Africa, the artist observed the changes in the soil during and after the drought. Where there was initially only cracked, dried ground, later there was pronounced vegetation . The artist then took up this dialectic of becoming and passing away in her work by mixing earth with water, spreading the earth and letting it dry. The earth is then stratified and laid out by it. In many of her works she contrasts the dried earth with steel and makes both a productive contrast. Steel as an apparently cold, smooth and constructive principle in contrast to the earth as a broken, uneven, but living principle. A surprising togetherness and opposition that gives the fingers, which run over the surfaces of the materials, very different haptic experiences.
Her altar object 1997 for Documenta X in the Martinskirche (Kassel) is well known, as is the “Korrespondenzen”, in which she artistically staged an entire medieval church, the church of the Abdinghof monastery in Paderborn , in 1999 . In 2006 she was entrusted with the redesign of the central liturgical places after the renovation of the Catholic Church of St. Antonius in Stuttgart-Kaltental . Most recently, Dietz caused a sensation with her work “side by side” in the Museum for Sepulchral Culture in Kassel in 2007, parallel to documenta XII, in which, in a four-year process, with the help of governments, institutions, private individuals and supporters, she collected cemetery soil from almost every country in the world and merged it into an art project. She made the principal pieces for the newly built Sophienkirche in the trade fair city of Munich-Riem .
In 2008 the urn cemetery that she sculpted was inaugurated at the monastery church of the Protestant cemetery in the Seebach district of Bad Dürkheim . It was the first Protestant urn cemetery in the Palatinate.
