SCHIRIN KRETSCHMANN TEN BY ONE

Opening: Sunday, 21 September, 2025, 11 a.m.
Duration: 21 September, 2025 – 8 February, 2026

For her solo exhibition TEN BY ONE at PEAC Museum, Schirin Kretschmann is developing a new ensemble of works that responds to the local surroundings by radically recoding the exhibition spaces. In large-scale installations, sound and video works, performances, and context-specific interventions, she creates an entirely novel situation: by combining small and large, loud and quiet events that constantly reconfigure and relate to one another, she transforms the exhibition space into a living sphere and opens up a multi-layered choreographic experience for visitors. Spontaneous interactions, perceptual loops, and moments of pause challenge visitors to rethink familiar perspectives and experience the exhibition as more than just a static, finite event.

Schirin Kretschmann (born in Karlsruhe in 1980, lives in Berlin and Munich) explores space as a medium for social structures and specific arrangements of the visible. Her artistic work is characterized by the recurring use of unusual materials such as leather grease, ice cream, pigments, plaster, packaging elements, and vehicles such as transport carts or trolleys. Kretschmann views these materials as carriers and repositories of information which, depending on how they are processed and combined, can change how we relate to space and time and our imaginations.

Schirin Kretschmann (born in Karlsruhe in 1980) studied fine art, art education, as well as German language and literature in Karlsruhe, Freiburg, and Mexico City, earning her doctorate in Basel and Weimar. Her work has been shown internationally in numerous museum and gallery exhibitions. Kretschmann also regularly creates works in public space and as part of architectural projects. For many years she has been involved in artistic and curatorial research projects. She is currently developing works for indoor and outdoor spaces as part of the “Werkstatt Morsbroich” at the Museum Morsbroich in Leverkusen. Since 2020, she has been professor of painting and graphic arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. 

Kretschmann has had solo and group exhibitions at institutions including the MAC Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, Santiago de Chile (2023), Museum Morsbroich in Leverkusen (2022), Kunsthaus Baselland, Switzerland (2021), Kunsthalle Baden-Baden (2018), Kunstverein Hannover (2017), Museum Vasarely, Budapest (2017), CAPC Coimbra, Portugal (2017), Magazin4 Bregenzer Kunstverein (2016), CAC Centro de Arte Contemporáneo, Quito, Ecuador (2016); Kunstverein Salzburg (2015), Kunstmuseum Stuttgart (2014), Städtische Galerie Nordhorn (2013), Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur (2012).
