Raphaela Vogel

Raphaela Vogel (* 1988 in Nuremberg ) is a German artist best known for her large-scale installations and her sculpturally embedded sound and video collages .

Life

Raphaela Vogel studied from 2009 to 2012 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg with Peter Angermann and Michael Hakimi and from 2011 to 2014 at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main with Simon Starling and Peter Fischli . From 2014 to 2016 she was a participant in the postgraduate program “ De Ateliers ” in Amsterdam. In 2019 she took on a substitute professorship at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe .

In Vogel's artistic work, architectural structures are both brought to the limits of their physical resilience ("In firm hands") and installed with and through the poetry of large gestures and gestures, that is, through monumental sculptures, to test their load-bearing capacity ("Isolator") ).

A thematic panorama, which does not close itself off to existential, political and sophisticated subjects, is unfolded by Vogel not only in dramatic but also in strongly humorous scenarios in which methods and techniques from almost all disciplines of contemporary art are used ( video , sound , Installation , sculpture , painting ).

The artist works with found ready-mades that have often been transformed with great effort, as well as being creative, sculptural, painting and, above all, active as an actress of various personas in her videos.

In addition to the objects found (such as dinosaurs, urinals, dolls), the artist also uses various digital technologies (such as drones , action cameras , projectors , scanners ) and various materials (such as steel scaffolding, Animal hides / skins, plastic / polyurethane ). This is how grotesque scenarios emerge, sometimes gloomy, sometimes dreamy. They are fragmentary narratives that invite identification, but at the same time withdraw this offer again: a rich interplay of seduction and refusal that allows for a variety of readings.
