life and work
Bartsch studied from 1995 to 2002 at the Art Academy in Münster with Timm Ulrichs and became a master class student in 2000 . From 2004 to 2015, Wiebke Bartsch was a lecturer at the Department of Cultural Anthropology of Textiles at the TU Dortmund Institute for Art and Material Culture. She has been a member of the West German Artists Association since 2013 . Bartsch has two children and lives in Münster .
Wiebke Bartsch works with found objects, textiles and other materials available in the household. From the set pieces of the everyday world of experience, she collages materially sensual objects between (alb) dream and reality. She creates figures and scenarios that pave the way for an original, eerie and at the same time humorous look at the everyday world.
“In the press announcements about Wiebke Bartsch, mostly textile artist is mentioned. Because she often works with fabrics, she sews grotesque dolls, tongues, breasts, hybrids. She places nightmarish beings in a sometimes gloomy scenario and tells stories with her installations. It's the great dramas that she tells, ponders about. The human tragedies we all know. It's about love, loneliness, pain, loss, jealousy, illness in her work. "
