Silhouettes, 2024
700 x 300 cm, mural painting

The essence of this mural is to create a visual narrative that represents organic diversity. My vision for this project is to present five basic shapes in vibrant colors that are harmoniously juxtaposed. Each of these two-dimensional contours is colored with a vibrant color - from a pale orange to yellow and blue to blue-green and pink. Overlaps create mixed colors reminiscent of the screen printing technique, such as a soft green, a delicate violet and two shades of grey. This subtle depth effect lends the composition a dynamic that is both simple and complex.

Sky, Stone, Clay, 2024 (Public Space)

20 x 30 m, mural / Brandwandgestaltung

Nature and City

The project is located in Friedrichstrasse Berlin-Mitte. At the center of the 200 m² mural are five striking abstract shapes in five different colors, representing elements that are intertwined with landscapes and enter into a dialogue with the surrounding urban architecture.

Parts of the organic contours intertwine and form two mixed colors that convey an idea of the interconnectedness of all things. The earthy tones are reminiscent of the soil in rural areas and embody growth. The expansive blue hue of the sky conveys a sense of vastness. In the midst of urban life, the bright green suggests vitality and renewal, while the radiant yellow stands for light.

The organic, soft shapes stand out from their architectural, urban surroundings with their radiant energy and lightness. The mural is not only a visual enrichment, but also a reflection on the inseparable connection between nature and the city.

Rote Hirsche, 2023 (Public Space)

Red Deer, 2023
Douglas fir wood, sewn, 10 x 4 x 2 m

Andrea van Reimersdahl's "Rote Hirsche" is inspired by the history and resources of the site - the restaurant "Zum Roten Hirschen", the "Jägerallee" and the Liebenberg "Hirsch Tor" all refer to the abundance of game in the Liebenberg forests.

The installation transports the pictorial motif of the deer from history to the present day. The sculpture is free standing in the outdoor space and becomes an aesthetic spatial and physical experience for the viewer. Light and shadow bring playful liveliness, the upper, red-painted wood, protrude the like antlers into the air.

During a ten-day stay at Schloss & Gut Liebenberg, the artists had the opportunity to receive professional advice and support in the production of their artworks from the employees of the DKB STIFTUNG "Inclusion Company" (carpenters, welders, landscape gardeners, forestry employees).

Soft Body NFTs, 2022 (Working Grant)

The idea of the working grant project Soft Body brings painting into a digital context by means of digital printing and 3D animation.
How can digital tools influence and expand my analog work and create new aesthetic and content challenges? As a protagonist for the project, I developed an open edition of digitally printed scarves as wearable paintings. In the digital extension, I used the program Blender 3D to work on animations in which the scarves as a painting ground detach from the painterly paint application and reassemble. Abstract forms that can resemble body fragments leave the two-dimensional picture plane and move into a digital space. I am interested in the digital transformation of material or texture and the potential for movement. As a final result of this project, I present new animations as NFTs on Objkt.com on the Tezos Blockchain.

The project was supported by the Stiftung Kunstfonds Neustart Kultur working grant.

www.reclaim-award.org

Andrea van Reimersdahl paints in multi-dimensions. Titled “Identity sucks,” she visualizes the notion of moving images interacting above and beyond the exhibition space. In the photograph, the artist depicts herself wrapped in her own paintings. Her identity vanishes and the abstract materials begin to shape. Textures, colors, and materials literally become the artist, and this is how she communicates with her audience.

Running Apart, 2018 (Solo)

dt.: Auseinanderlaufen
Acrylic paint on various textiles, fluorescent tubes, rotation motor, timer, 400 x 300 x 300 cm, Berlin-Weekly, Berlin

Videodocumentation: https://youtu.be/2nDS5LxI2qc

Running Apart is made for the window of Berlin-Weekly. The viewer perceives a spatial composition of several pictorial surfaces inside through the window. The centre of the image is a quotation from a drawing by Kandinsky materialised as lines of light. An automated pulling device changes the space and influences the view of the viewer. In a 4-minute interval, a transparent picture surface is pulled up and obscures his view. The result is a moving painting.

Vancouver Curtains, 2017 (Public Space)

Architectural commission / Curtains for Concept Store, Vancouver (CA)

Leisure Center is a multi-label store for avant-garde fashion design in Vancouver. The space extends over 2000m2 on two floors. In cooperation with Caspar Mueller Kneer Architects a design concept for curtains was developed. From three different fabric qualities, I developed an idea for each floor. The sewn surface was hand-printed in screen technique in Berlin. The graphic design is based on digital drawings. Lines compress or disperse in waves. Printing is done over seams. Unprinted passages alternate with printed ones across the entire width of up to 38 meters. A black-and-white contrast interacts with the transparency of the fabric in interplay with light and shadow. The surface treatment of the textiles makes the curtains unique. Their technical function is sound absorption, daylight regulation and visual protection.

ad hoc, 2017 (Duo)

Acrylic paint and silkscreen on textiles, draped on wooden frames, with pulling devices, as curtain, with body performance, 1000 x 5080 x 330 cm, saasfee*pavillon, Frankfurt a.

The exhibition MODEST MONUMENTS was supported by the Cultural Office of the City of Frankfurt am Main and the Hessian Ministry for Science and Art.

The performance is the opening event of the MODEST MONUMENTS exhibition at the sassfee*pavillon in Frankfurt am Main.

The performance is a dependent, yet self-dynamic part of the spatial installation. A person walks for 60 minutes masquerading van Reimersdahl's space installation AD HOC (to this one) and the adjoining outdoor space. She pauses before the viewer's eyes and demonstrates the mobility of the drapes. At times her appearance fuses with the spatial installation. In the outside space, her figure appears surreal. Occasionally she seeks the closeness of the visitors. The human body is the vehicle on which the fabrics become threedimensional and mobile. Their appearance and their seemingly automated procedure attract the viewer's attention. An obvious documentation is part of the event.

Codes and Characters, 2016 (Group)

Edition of Leggings, Benhadj&Djilali Gallery, Berlin

The spatial work Codes and Characters by Andrea van Reimersdahl cover room corners and walls and spans an amorphous structure of graphics in the middle of the room. The viewer is forced to make his way through it to reach the rear exhibition space.

A performance marks the start of the group exhibition Open Pieces in the Benhadj&Djilali Gallery. An exposed figure and a photographer move through the exhibition over a period of 60 minutes. The exhibition space and the adjoining outdoor space extend the radius of the textile room installation beyond the gallery space. Treated textiles are presented to performers and photographers as clothing. The figure pauses on her way at various stations. The photographer captures these moments as facets of space and time. Meanwhile, the viewer is in the center of the action.

ESCAPES Performance
As part of the SLIGHT SHOW exhibition at Kunsthalle am Hamburger Platz, an excerpt of the ESCAPES screen-print edition is shown as a staged performance.

The figure, as an exhibit, wears clothing from the edition of hand-made, one-off screen-printed pieces. For a period of 60 minutes, she paces through the exhibition space and the adjoining outside space. Like an algorithm that measures space in stages with the scale of time, the figure pauses at various stations of its performed trajectory. Visible to the visitors, she pauses, motionless, like a sculpture. The person is present but, with her head mask, denies the visitor direct eye contact. The almost mechanical performance, between movement and standstill, is repeated in rhythmic sequence.

Benhadj&Djilali Gallery, Berlin

Textile paintings are fitted into the exhibition space in the manner of walls, tracing the existing architecture. Softness and lightness cover solidity and density. Modular mobile textile paintings create a spatial atmosphere defined by the language of material. Fabric and printed graphics meld into a contrasting overall composition. The play of light and shadow is emphasised by transparency and density of the material. The visitor moves about in an abstract spatial imagery.

A cycle of drawings, FIELDS 01-04, appears between the solid and the textile walls. Quantities of lines proliferate in dynamic movement in front of a grid backdrop.

Edition Escapes, 2014 (Edition)

collaboration, silk screen one-off pieces, Andrea van Reimersdahl & Ivonne Dippmann, Berlin/Tel Aviv

The objective of ESCAPES is to enable the cooperation of two artists at the interface of art and fashion. The analogue production approach of this project forms a clear counter-position to mass production and cut-price textile products in the context of contemporary production structures. ESCAPES places Tel Aviv and Berlin in context as urban action spaces in the form of a dialogue, and thereby merges these socially and politically different "landscapes" into one object.
