Biography Susanne Kriemann (Erlangen, Germany, 1972)
Susanne Kriemann is an artist based in Rotterdam and Berlin. She studied conceptual art and photography at the Akademie der Künste Stuttgart, and attended the ‘programme de recherché’ at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris. Currently she is a researcher at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts KASK in Gent, Belgium. In nearly all her projects, Kriemann has decoded buildings and other large structures as physical embodiments of ideology and forgotten meaning. She interrogates them with a view to their social suggestiveness in order to bring out the paradoxes they incorporate.
