Michelle Grabner

Michelle Grabner (*1962 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA, lebt und arbeitet in Wisconsin, USA) hat in den 1980er Jahren Malerei, Zeichnung und Kunstgeschichte an der University of Wisonsin-Milwaukee und Kunstpraxis und Kunsttheorie an der Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois studiert. Seit 1997 ist sie Crown Family Professorin für Malerei und Zeichnung an der Schule des Art Institute of Chicago, weitere Gastprofessuren u.a. in Yale ergänzen ihre akademischen Aktivitäten. Als Kunst- kritikerin schreibt sie regelmäßig u.a. für das Artforum und x-tra. Gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann, dem Künstler Brad Killam kuratiert sie die Projekträume „The Suburban“ und „The Poor Farm“. 2014 war sie Co-Kuratorin der Whitney Biennale im Whitney Museum of American Art. Grabner war die erste künstlerische Leiterin von FRONT International, einer alle drei Jahre stattfindenden Ausstellung in Cleveland, OH und Umgebung, die von Juli bis September 2018 stattfand. In ihrer künstlerischen wie auch kuratorischen und lehrenden Tätigkeit ist es Michelle Grabner ein besonderes Anliegen über Strukturen, Prozesse und Austausch zu reflektieren. Ihre künstlerischen Arbeiten greifen dies in der exzessiven Verwendung von Mustern und Wiederholungen auf. So auch in den Bronzeplastiken, deren Ursprung aus gehäkelten Decken auch als veredeltes und eigenständiges Objekt ersichtlich bleibt.
