CURRICULUM VITAE

Daniela Kammerer, lives and works in Augsburg, Germany, and has been working independently since 1989.

Her training began at the Augsburg School of Design with eight semesters of fine art under Prof. Joachim Palm and a diploma in 1990; she graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts Munich in 2011 and has attended Markus Lüpertz's summer academy annually since 2013, joining the sculpture class there in 2023.

 

She works in series and in several media at once — painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, installation. The three-dimensional work stands at the very beginning: her diploma piece under Palm, Niki de Saint Phallus, was an object in space, shown in 1990 in the first group exhibition of the BBK Augsburg.

Sections of a hundred-year-old oak opened into spirals with a chainsaw, wall installations, ceramic series and, most recently, walk-in steel houses have followed.

 

The travels of recent years — Morocco, Costa Rica, Japan, South Africa — supply no motif but a shift in seeing: of any place, only the pigment enters the work physically, everything else arrives as memory.

 

In 2018 Museum Oberschönenfeld presented her solo exhibition Blütenknall across two floors and acquired work for its collection; further works are held in private collections in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, South Korea and New York. In 2020 she showed Haut um's Hirn at the START Art Fair, Saatchi Gallery, London, and in 2026 at Galerie Kunstreich, Kempten. What emerges is a body of work ordered less by genre than by a single question — how the whole of a place enters an image, when the eye is given only the fragment.
