Sculpture as a Spatial-Physical DimensionMaren Maurer (b. Scherzingen, Switzerland, 1981; lives and works in Cologne) trained as a classical stage dancer before studying with Rita McBride and Rosemarie Trockel at the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts. Around 2012-2013, Maurer started casting a growing number of sculptures using traditional techniques in which she experiments with the alternation between positive and negative shapes to define (empty) space as an interstitial form.

Seit 2012-2013 stellt die Künstlerin vermehrt Skulpturen im traditionellen Abgussverfahren her, die mit dem Wechsel von Positiv- und Negativform experimentieren und (leeren) Raum als eine Form des Dazwischen definieren.
