Keike Twisselmann

Keike Twisselmann artist file Born in Berlin 1967. She was unconditionally admitted to study fine art at the University of Ulster Belfast in 1989, completing her studies 1992 with the Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) and 1996 with the Master of Fine Art. In-between, she studied philosophy, English literature, politics and law out of interest. She was one of the founding members of Catalyst Arts Belfast, a group of international artists who created their own space for their political, social and experimental art in the center of Belfast. At her studio flat in a deconsecrated church right at the frontier of the Northern Irish conflict, she organized Belfast’s first art cinema and founded the “provisional German embassy” which gave shelter and protection to anyone and everyone without prejudice. Her public performances are part of the northern Irish “Troubles Archive” by the Ulster Museum in Belfast. She moved back to Berlin in 2000, where she worked in the chair committee of the BBK Berlin (2003-2014). The focus of her artistic work lies on performance and painting with exhibitions and invitations to festivals around the world…such as: Venice, Kassel/Documenta, Cologne, Dessau/Bauhaus, New York, Belfast, Berlin, London, Scarborough, Transylvania, Derry, Hanover, Sheffield, Cleveland, Glasgow, Werkleitz, Dublin, Kilkenny, Galway, Cork, Barcelona, Cardiff, Québec, Kiel, Kleve, Leipzig, Madrid, … to name but a few.
