THERESA WEBER

THERESA WEBER currently lives and works in Berlin. Through MATERIAL collage, textile installation and COLLABORATIVE performance, the artist seeks to question existing power hierarchies and fixed CATEGORISATIONS. In her perspective as an artist with JAMAICAN, GERMAN and GREEK background, her practice often refers to Caribbean discourse, ancient MYTHOLOGIES and HISTORICAL research. Represented through contemporary body-marks and ARCHIVAL techniques, her practice exemplifies the constant TRANSFORMATION within every TRADITION. On the dynamic field between TRANSPARENCY and opacity, Weber’s practice creates SPACE for strength and RESILIENCE, through nuance and FRAGILITY.

Theresa Weber studied at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in and the Royal College of Art, London. Her work is currently on platform at Perrotin Paris, Nicoletti Gallery London, Museum Nikolaikirche Berlin, and Suermondt-Ludwig Museum Aachen. She was part of the New Contemporaries in 2022, followed by her first public commission at Somerset House London in 2023 and her first museum solo at Kunstmuseum Bochum, Berlin, as well as a Tate Collective commission last year. She won several awards and scholarships and is has been showing work internationally in various contexts, as for example at Gropius Bau Berlin, Ludwig Forum Aachen, South London Gallery and Saatchi Gallery.
