The Artistic Evolution of Cornelia Schleime

Born in East Berlin, Cornelia Schleime is a German painter, performer, filmmaker, and author. Her formal training began at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts, where she studied painting and graphic arts, eventually receiving her diploma in 1980. Her early career was marked by her involvement in the underground art scene of the GDR, where she participated in experimental projects such as the 1979 Türenausstellung (Exhibition of Doors). This period also saw her as a member of the art-punk band Zwitschermaschine, serving as the group's vocalist. Following her move to the West in 1984, she spent time in New York City on a fellowship, participating in the MOMA PS1's National and International Studio Program. She currently lives and works in Berlin and Brandenburg.

Her painting style draws from classical traditions, utilizing an intuitive act of drawing to project subjects into new roles through fantasy and irony. In 2016, she was honored with the Hannah Höch Preis from the State of Berlin for her life's work.
