In her artistic practice, Mariechen Danz (b. 1980) explores methods and models of understanding, always with a focus on the human body. In expansive installations and performances, often in collaboration with other artists and musicians, she combines and confronts scientific systems of understanding and describing the world with subjective, alternative, and magical ways of thinking. The publication accompanying the exhibition edge out at the Berlinische Galerie showcases this year's winner of the GASAG Art Prize and provides insights into the exhibition, a monumental walk-in installation that models new ways of exchanging and describing knowledge, truth, and history.
