Anouk Tschanz, born 1994 in Bern, studied fine arts at the École Cantonale des Beaux-Arts in Lausanne and at the Universität der Künste Berlin. She has shown her work in solo exhibitions at Longtang Zurich and Coalmine, Raum für Fotografie in Winterthur. Her work has been exhibited at, among others, the Museum für Fotografie Berlin, Circuit Lausanne and Stadtgalerie Bern. She is currently working on her first artist publication, Blätter.
Project
As part of the coaching program Anouk Tschanz will work with Alexandra Navratil on a larger publication based on her previous photographic works from the series Blätter. The graphic design is being developed in collaboration with graphic designer Anne Stock. In the process, practical aspects of producing an artist's book are discussed and formal and conceptual ideas are exchanged. Since the publication is groundbreaking for Anouk Tschanz's further artistic work, her future projects, whether photographic or sculptural, will also be discussed in the meetings.
