Julia Steiner
Landis & Gyr Stiftung Residency
2014
Julia Steiner is an artist whose work deals with mental landscapes, where the act of drawing moves between thinking and taking action. Her works combine her interests in condensation, blank spaces and states of transition.
Julia was an artist-in-residence at Galerie Urs Meile, Beijing, from October 2009 to January 2010. She won the Swiss Art Award and the Kiefer Hablitzel grant in 2009 and received the Manor Art Award, canton Berne in 2010. She lives and works in Berne, Switzerland.
