Bio:

Louise Winter je umetnica, pisateljica in kustosinja iz Kamnika. Leta 2011 je z odliko zaključila magistrski študij iz likovne umetnosti. Od tedaj redno razstavlja v Veliki Britaniji in na mednarodni ravni. S samostojnimi razstavami se je predstavila v Leedsu, Newcastlu in Exeterju, leta 2014 pa je bila uvrščena v ožji izbor za nagrado Beers Award za sodobno nastajajočo umetnost. Leta 2015 je bila izbrana za rezidenčno umetnico pri ARTErra na Portugalskem. Njena dela so bila razstavljena v okviru projekta Multiple Exposure Project: Outside the White Cube v Metro Manili na Filipinih. Leta 2016 je Winter razstavljala z &Model Gallery, Leeds, The Royal Standard, Liverpool in Galeria Zero, Barcelona.

Leta 2017 se je predstavila v dveh samostojnih razstavah v Newcastlu, in sicer v galeriji The Newbridge Project in v galeriji Slugtown. Prav tako je bila izbrana za skupinske razstave ‘Les Boites’, Suede Gallery, Edinburgh in ‘Artistic Encounter’ v The Great North Museum v Hancocku.

Winter je članica Zveze društev slovenskih likovnih umetnikov (ZDSLU). S svojo Pop up instalacijo se je predstavila na Kamfestu in v Stari Tobačni. Sodelovala je tudi v Odprtih ateljejih v Stari tobačni, festivalu KAOS v Layerjevi hiši in na Mednarodnem bienalu instalacij in kiparstva “Množičnost in ponavljanje,” IAVPOA Art.

Lansko leto je bila izbrana za razstavo Kinetične Keramike, ki je bila izvedena pod kuratorsko taktirko Kristine Rutar. Opravila je tudi umetniško rezidenco v Hiši na Hribu ter v kamniški galeriji Dika kot ena izmed avtoric postavila skupinsko razstavo imenovano Weird Sisters, ki je združila dela šestih vodilnih sodobnih v Sloveniji živečih in delujočih umetnic. 
 

Louise Winter is interested in questioning the fixed identities of objects and materials so they defy usual definitions and expectations, or, as the artist Tom Friedman has said, ‘Testing what matter is by allowing it not to be’.

Central to her practice are ideas of displacement: is the location of material central to its definition so that if it is displaced from its ‘real’ context can it still be regarded as the same object, where then does it exist, if at all?

Winter’s practice is investigative in its nature and form, moving between object, process, event and performance. She doesn’t ‘create’ objects, but works with already existing materials to collapse the distance between art and the mundane, exploring the poetic potential of the everyday.
