CV
Beate Linne (*1967 in Germany)
As a visual artist I am working mainly in the field of performance art, including Video and installation. Beside my solo works, I have been collaborated in the artist Duo Linne&Vaara, with Black Market International, Bálint Sombathy and others. I give workshops and have been active as a co-curator for several international Performance art festivals like Transart Communication (HU), the International Performance Art Festival Blow! (DE) and the International Live Art Festival OPEN 19 (CN). I am Founder and director of the art association NO W HERE. My academic studies rage from fine arts to architecture, German language and social work. This wide range of experiences and knowledge constitutes the basis of my art. I am a curious person and eager to exchange with other people and keen on working with artists from different disciplines and cultures. In the last years I have been travelling around the world and I am glad to have the opportunity to those exchanges and the associated incentives that challenges me to continue developing my art constantly. My art works have been presented in different context internationally.

Statement
My art investigates core issues of life and the condition of being a human.
The performances often test the corporeal and mental limits of myself, questioning the social manners and learned norms of behavior. By using my body as a tool of creating powerful live-images, I consider performance as an opportunity to express myself in my ongoing examination into the ideas of freedom and conventionality of body and thought. My works can be seen as poetical compositions that transforms life in odd actions and living images. It’s not about presenting answers or concrete statements to social and politic subjects, but rather an offer activating the spectator to find their own interpretations or associations. At the heart of my work is an encounter and exchange between people: a possibility to initiate alternative and bold thinking processes.
