| UTE PLEUGER | |
| Ute Pleuger, born in
Neuwied, Germany and raised in Essen, began her formal art training in
Berlin in 1976. She has traveled and studied widely, including France,
Italy, Israel, and the United States. Her artistic energy and prolific
talent have brought her many awards and fellowships, including two grants
from the Berlin Cultural Affairs Ministry, a 5-month residency at the Brandenburg
State Artists’ Residence in Wiepersdorf, and a fellowship of the German
Academic Exchange Agency (DAAD) to study in Paris. She was awared the prize
for paper works by the Cultural Department of the Federation of German
Industries (BDI) and the international graphic prize, "Contemporary Linoleum
Blocks". Her interest and training in the organ have enriched her artistic
composition and expression. Her architectonic works, overwhelming in their
huge size and mysterious suggestiveness, have been described in numerous
professional journals. Her works have been represented in important exhibits
in Europe and in solo exhibitions, for example, in the Werkbund-Archiv
in the Martin Gropius-Building, Berlin, 1996. Her works are hanging in
public buildings, museums, and corporate offices throughout Germany. Included
in these pages is only a small sample of her works. Her latest series,
The
Suspension, now includes over three hundred pieces. She is professor
of painting at the Burg Giebichenstein-Halle
Hochschule fur Kunste und Design at Halle, and she
maintains a studio in Berlin where she lives.
