Melanie Jame Wolf – Sophiensæle | Freies Theater in Berlin

Melanie Jame Wolf makes artworks, performances, and texts about power, persona, and the phenomenon of “show business”: the persuasive, the deceptive, the staged, and the performed in political, theatrical, and everyday contexts. Her work explores the vulnerability of the live moment and the body as an unruly political riddle. These interests are explored through shape-shifting and play with language in surprising and humorous ways.

Spaces that have presented her work include Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Kunstmuseum Basel – Gegenwart, KW – Institute of Contemporary Art, HAU – Hebbel am Ufer, Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, nGbK, Schirn Kunsthalle, The National 2019: New Australian Art biennial, VAEFF - Film Festival NYC, Arts Santa Monica, Schwules Museum, Sophiensæle, Münchner Kammerspiele, Arts House Melbourne, Kasseler Dokfest, KINDL, Bärenwzinger Berlin, SOPHIE TAPPEINER and Institute of Modern Art Brisbane.
