ANGELIKA LODERER
b. 1984, AustriaAngelika Loderer is an Austrian sculptor. The tension between opposites, what is ephemeral and what is permanent, what is visible and what is hidden, the negative and positive forms, run like a thread through Loderer’s work. Critically exploring the notion of sculpture, Loderer also initiates collaborations with other beings: she casts metal sculptures of nest cavities of woodpeckers, or mole tunnels, rendering these negative spaces visible. In yet another body of work Loderer allowed for fungal mycelium to grow, thereby altering photographic prints. The outcome of these artistic endeavours is driven by elements of chance and fosters an organic coexistence, and, one might argue, embraces post-humanist ideals.
Her work has been presented in great institutional exhibitions such as her most recent solo exhibition Atlas To Time at Kunsthalle Feldbach (2025); Soil Fictions at Belvedere 21, Vienna (2024); Soft Water Hard Stone at the New Museum Triennial, New York (2021); Pretend to be Fine at Kunstfenster Gnas, Gnas (2019); Poems to Gadgets at __Grazer Kunstverein, Graz (2018); her solo presentation at Secession, Vienna (2017) and Coming in Pieces at Dortmunder Kunstverein, Dortmund (2015).
