Tina Schulz was born in 1975 in Munich, Germany. Drawings, paintings, sculptures, videos and exhibition installations are as much the tools for her conceptual approach as are her writings. After studying German studies at the LMU in Munich she studies Fine Arts within Astrid Kleins’ class at the HGB Leipzig, where she majors in 2004, and where she teaches until 2008. She runs the LIGA Produzentengalerie in Berlin in 2002/2003 and writes broadly about artist colleagues. In 2009 and 2010 residencies lead her to Paris, Brussels and Los Angeles. Since 2011 she lives and works in Brussels.

For her first solo exhibition at KOW, Tina Schulz employs a highly conceptual rendering of bodies in repetitive motion through both time and space. Incorporating sculpture, drawing and new media, the artist draws inspiration from an ancient Indian board game, in which the players’ victory or defeat is derived from luck alone. Throughout the exhibition, viewers become active participants, embodying the limitations of human perception in relation to time. In her videos and multi-media works, Schulz reaffirms our dependence on chance and the ultimate truth that we remain unwitting players of a game in which the only certainty is uncertainty, as the cycles of history continue to reveal themselves.

Tina Schulz (*1975, München/Deutschland) verhält sich in ihrer Arbeit wie jemand, der sich in der Beschäftigung mit Kunst und anderen kulturellen Phänomenen während eines Gedankenganges Notizen, Skizzen oder Modelle macht, um sich selbst etwas zu veranschaulichen. Dieses beobachtende Nachdenken kann sich in unterschiedlichen Medien manifestieren: als Zeichnung oder Schrift, im bewegten oder stillstehenden Bild, in bearbeiteten Materialien und skulpturalen Objekten, in der Konstruktion einer räumlichen oder kontextuellen Situation.
