Antje Rieck is an artist from Ulm, Germany who currently lives and works in Berlin. Rieck creates sculptures that capture stages of transformation. Through the artist’s mastery in organic materials, such as marble, wood, and stone, her work investigates the structures that extend through social fabric that points to transcendence.

Rieck’s primary focus is process, experience and awareness regardless of medium. Since 2008 the artist has grown large-scale crystal forms that reflect the light within the surrounding environments. By creating a model of reflective consciousness, Antje Rieck creates a series of ‘Spiel’, which means either ‘game’ or ‘drama’ in German, in order to suggest layers of perception as experimental fields.

Antje Rieck’s art has been exhibited internationally in both solo and group exhibitions. The Foundation Mario Merz, located in Turin, hosted a solo show of her work and in 2006 Rieck was commissioned for a public installation in Memory to the Martyrs of the Fosse Ardeatine, located in Rome. In 2011 the artist participated in GLASSTRESS that took place at the 54th International Venice Biennale in Venice, Italy. Antje Rieck’s art is featured in private collections throughout Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland, Russia and the USA. She received her Master of Fine Arts in Turin, Italy.
