 MAUREEN BACHAUS
 


Geboren in Maastricht, Niederlande. Studium an der Academy of Fine Arts Maastricht und Conceptual Post-graduate Academy in Amsterdam.

......scroll down for English version......


Die menschliche Psyche und die Frage nach Identität sind die Hauptthemen im Oeuvre von Maureen Bachaus. Sie sammelt Gedanken von Menschen unterschiedlicher Kultur und Herkunft und übersetzt diese in ihren fotografischen Assemblagen, Video- und Performanceprojekten, Installationen und Skulpturen. Sie kombiniert ihre Fotografien mit Seil, Nähgarn, Zeichnung oder Fundstücken und erzählt damit unterschwellig die Geschichte ihrer Protagonisten. Gestickte Texte scheinen wie Gedankenfragmente, mit verknoteten Seilen umwickelte Fotografien drücken Freiheit und Unfreiheit unserer Gefühle und Gedanken aus.


Born in Maastricht, Netherlands. Graduated from Academy of Fine Arts, Maastricht Netherlands and Conceptual Post-graduate Academy, Amsterdam Netherlands. As a concept developer, Maureen Bachaus is the creative mind behind cultural, curatorial and conceptual art projects throughout Europe. She works as cultural policy advisor for the municipality Eijsden-Margraten (NL) and is co-founder of the international art collective >BAUM<, that focuses on cultural projects with social relevance.

Human psyche and the question of identity are a focal point in Maureen Bachaus' oeuvre. She collects thoughts of people from different culture and origin and translates them into photographic assemblages, video- and performanceprojects, installations and sculptures. The assembled elements (ropes, drawings, objects or lines of texts) suggest a part of the underlying story and are in fact fragments of the people’s thoughts revealing the essence of the mind at the time. A frequently used material is rope, sometimes pierced rawly through the image. This rope, sometimes in a knot, sometimes with hanging parts, symbolizes the limitation or even captivity but also the freedom experienced by certain thoughts and feelings.
