About
Joana Schneider creates spacious installations and sculptural environments that intertwine themes from natural and fictional realms. Her work initiates a dialogue concerning nature, the human body and the profound impact of early childhood experiences on young adults. By creating fantastic environments, that reference non-human and human-made worlds, Schneider explores how these elements shape humans' perceptions of beauty and youth.
Schneider’s playful use of exceptional materials merges with her love for the textile craft. Her work is deeply rooted in Dutch craftsmanship drawing inspiration from traditional practices. Techniques such as embroidery, passementerie, and tapestry making have become her speciality, combining these with traditional net-making techniques such as pluis netting and dolly knotting used in the fisheries sector. Her installations appeal to the viewers’ senses in many respects: visually, tactically, and through their natural smell.
Her work has been shown internationally in exhibitions and fairs such as VOLTA Basel, PAD Paris and London, PULSE Art Week Miami, Enter Art Fair Copenhagen, Masterly Milano, Fite Textile Biennale, and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. The Amsterdam based artist is represented in the Netherlands and Denmark by Rademakers Gallery.
