MAUREEN BACHAUS
Maureen Bachaus is the creative mind behind many cultural, curatorial and conceptual art projects throughout Europe. Maureen works as cultural policy advisor in Eijsden-Margraten (The Netherlands) and as a conceptual artist. She is also co-founder of the international art collective >BAUM< in cooperation with her partner Jeton Muja (Kosovo/NL). Her work is represented by Gallery Kunstkomplex (DE), Gallery Bardohl&Scheel (DE), Gallery Kunstkomplex Mennuni (CHE), Exit11 Contemporary art (BE). Gallery S&H De Buck (BE) and Gallery O-68 (NL).
Essential themes throughout Bachaus’ work are the human psyche and the human identity. She translates human thoughts into photography projects, performances, video - or multimedia projects, installations and sculptures. A frequently used material is rope, sometimes pierced roughly through the image, which symbolizes the limitation or even captivity but also the freedom experienced by personal thoughts and feelings.
