Ute Langanky (* 1957 in Düsseldorf ) is a German artist . Her work has been presented in numerous exhibitions and publications in Germany and abroad. She has lived since 1995 at the rocket station , a site of the Insel Hombroich Foundation near Neuss , where she also looks after the estate of her husband, the poet Thomas Kling , who died in 2005 .

Career

Ute Langanky studied from 1976 at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf with Gerhard Richter , from 1980 to 1983 with Alfonso Hüppi , whose master class she became. From 1979 to 1984 she completed a degree in philosophy at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf , which she graduated with the state examination. Since then she has been working as a freelancer. In 1984 she received a work grant at the Kampnagelfabrik Hamburg. In 1989 Ute Langanky was selected for the Art Cologne funding program . From 1993 to 1994 she was prominently represented in the Vinschgau - South Tyrol cultural program . In 1998 the Kulturstiftung des Landes Rheinland-Pfalz honored her work with a residency grant at the Künstlerhaus Edenkoben . It was there that, as a member of the advisory board, she set up a series of exhibitions for the scholarship holders in Landau / Villa Streccius . In 2005 she designed the newly established Thomas Kling Archive on the Hombroich rocket station , which she is still in charge of today. The artist has been working at the University of Koblenz-Landau as an artistic assistant and lecturer in the fields of painting and photography since 2012 .

Ute Langanky works intermedially. In addition to an extensive graphic work, painting, photography and their digital processing are the focus of her work. A method that is often used is the dissolving of familiar images to the point of almost complete abstraction . The older medium of painting is on an equal footing with the younger medium of photography, in a dialogical relationship. The characteristics of the two media are reflected. Light and the time factor are important carriers of meaning . In serial work with image sequences and photo sequences, an aspect that is as cinematic as it is programmatic comes into focus. The place where the artist lived and worked, a former rocket station, has played a special role since 1995. The landscape, floral or architectural motifs mutate into concrete and abstractly legible picture inventory.

In addition to her autonomous work, she presented several new artistic interpretations of great works of European literature (including Beowulf , Catullus and Oswald von Wolkenstein ). She also had a fruitful artistic collaboration with her partner Thomas Kling, in which the language artist and visual artist congenially overcame and connected the boundaries of their media in the sense of an intermediality .
