Marike Schreiber

Marike Schreiber (*1982 in Neustrelitz) lives and works in the Mecklenburg Lake District. She studied media art at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig. From 2008 to 2019 she ran the Leipzig art space Praline, together with Air Merten and later Yvonne Anders, which was a place for participation-oriented formats and site-specific exhibitions.

Marike is interested in the nature of scientific images, in the visual expressions of science: how the shapes and colors of data, models and metaphorical terms are translated into images. She is interested in how they can be seen as ciphers of a certain worldview – of ideas around being human and/or of nature itself. She uses these two-dimensional images as material for sculptures and installations.
