Blaise Kirschner

Blaise Kirschner (FKA Anja Kirschner) is an artist whose practice encompasses multi-media installations, video and feature-length films. Kirschner’s expanded and immersive works frequently reference popular genres, such as horror, sci-fi and melodrama and address how fantasies and fears about contemporary socio-political, technological and ecological developments are coded into cultural forms.

Kirschner was the winner of the Jarman Award in 2011 (with David Panos) and has participated in the Berlinale, the BFI London Film Festival and the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen. Her work has been widely exhibited internationally, including: Tate Modern, British Art Show 7, Liverpool Biennial, Chisenhale Gallery, ICA (UK), Athens Biennial, Benaki Museum (GR), Secession (AT), Palais de Tokyo (FR), Artists Space (USA), Extra City (BE), Kunsthal Oslo (NO), Calouste Gulbenkian Museum (PT), HKW, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein and Badischer Kunstverein Karlsruhe (DE).
