Nicole Wermers (*1971 in Emsdetten) lives and works in London and Emsdetten. Since 2017 she has been a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Among other things, she was a fellow of the German Academy Villa Massimo in Rome in 2012 and was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2015. In her sculptures, photographs and collages, the artist combines formal questions with investigations of urban space and its social, economic and psychological inscriptions. The artist's work reveals a reference to the design of everyday objects, renegotiating their purposeful use within recompositions, often in combination with other materials, forms, and contexts.
