Kai Schiemenz (*1966 in Erfurt, lives and works in Berlin) studied at the Kunsthochschule Weißensee and the Universität der Künste in Berlin. The artist focuses in his works on the city, space, and architecture and on the regulating function that these constructs carry out on people. His small-format sculptures are self-enclosed structures that combine digital techniques with natural materials like wood or paper. At the same time, they serve as models for spatially expansive installations and architectures for interiors and exteriors, in which Schiemenz uses lines of sight to construct spaces whose permeability enables them to involve the viewer directly. At the center is always the question of the influence of the built surroundings and the urban landscape on people.
Works by the artsit have been included in noumerous national and international solo and group exhibtions e.g.: Mies van der Rohe Haus in Berlin, Städtische Galerie Wolfsburg, Villa Romana in Florence, HOW Museum in Shanghai, Grassi Museum für Angewandte Kunst Leipzig, Neuer Kunstverein Wuppertal, CC.art space in Isfahan or at the UBE Biennale in Japan.
