Overview
Antonia Low takes the means of expression in her art from interaction with the environment as a consciously applied instrument. Her installations make reference to spatial circumstances. Through re-evaluations, disclosures, and allocations, Low thematises their different aspects and finds new points of emphasis. She pursues the overlap of different layers of temporality and spatiality and brings the transitory substance of spaces to light.
Antonia Low was born in 1972 in Liverpool, lives and works in Berlin. She studied at the Kunstakademie Münster, and two years later was awarded the degree Master in Fine Arts from Goldsmiths College, University of London.
