Biography
Madeleine Boschan studied at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig from 2000–2006; where she was taught by John Armleder.
Since 2010 she has participated in numerous institutional exhibitions throughout Europe and North America focusing on: artistic strategies dealing with preconditioned role-models and relationships of people, everyday objects or readymades, furniture and architecture, as well as new tendencies of Abstract art, contemporary art from Berlin or Germany, and the interdisciplinary impact of the Cabinet of curiosities on contemporary thinking, science and exhibition practice.
In 2011, she took part as artist in residence and lecturer in the Manchester-wide festival Merzman: Kurt Schwitters in the North West, celebrating the legacy and influence of German artist Kurt Schwitters. She lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
Works
Madeleine Boschan builds her sculptures from found material. These objets trouvés are modified, reassembled and brought in relation with each other by colour interventions. The different components lose their common value of utilization. With their machine-like appearance her sculptures seem to suggest expedience, still, they inhere in a kind of defunctionalised dissociation – as do indigenous fetishes or desolate and disused apparatus.
