Pola Sieverding

Pola Sieverding is a visual artist working in the field of lens based media.

Her works are circling around questions of representation and image production within cultural formations that are defined by various concepts of desire and identification processes. The idea of portraiture in terms of an interpretive reading of the inscriptions of culture in the human body is a recurring moment in her work.

Pola Sieverding studied at Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, Surikov Institute Moscow and attained her MFA at the University of the Arts Berlin in 2007. Since then she has exhibited internationally at Aram Art Gallery, Seoul; Tate Modern, London; Art in General, New York; Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin; Lumiar Cité, Lisbon; Lena Brüning Galerie, Berlin et al. Since 2011 she is collaborating with Orson Sieverding on Sonic Interferences that have been performed at Kunstverein Heidelberg and ReMap 3 in Athens. She has been invited as an Artist in Residence to Ramallah, Prague and Lisbon and as a visiting lecturer to the International Academy of Art Palestine. Pola Sieverding lives and works in Berlin.

Residency of Pola Sieverding is supported by Czech and German Fund of Future a Goethe Institut Prag.
