Mel E. Logan

Mel E. Logan arbeitet in ihrem Werk mit diversen künstlerischen Medien. Wie schon mit Chicks on Speed entstehen ihre Projekte im Kollektiv und Austausch mit internationalen KünstlerInnen. Sich der Katastrophen der Welt bewusst seiend und über die brennenden politischen Frage unserer Zeit nachdenkend, schafft sie spektakuläre musikalische und performative Inszenierungen, installative und malerische Arbeiten von hoher sinnlicher Intensität. Mit der University of Craft Action Thought und Vodoo Chanel ist sie international zu Gast.
