Katharina Wendler

Katharina Wendler serves as an Academic Associate and Curator at the Faculty of Art and Design of Bauhaus-University Weimar, where she curates the university gallery's exhibition program within the Fine Art / Public Art and New Artistic Strategies discipline. Her role bridges academic research and institutional curation, contributing to the university's artistic ecosystem.

Her educational background includes:

• Bachelor of Arts in Applied Cultural Sciences and Psychology from Leuphana Universität Lüneburg
• Master of Arts in Art and Image History from Humboldt Universität zu Berlin and the University of Iceland, Reykjavik

Wendler's research and professional practice centers on contemporary curatorial methodologies, with emphasis on dialogic exhibition formats and public art interventions. Her work explores the intersection of artistic production, institutional critique, and audience engagement through sustained collaborative frameworks. The in conversation with exhibition series exemplifies her commitment to creating discursive spaces that challenge traditional curator-artist dynamics.

As an active member of the FLURR curatorial collective since 2019 and through her freelance practice, she develops projects with emerging and established artists globally. Her leadership in SAFN Berlin (2013-2017) and Karin Sander's studio (2016-2018) demonstrates sustained institutional engagement beyond the university context.
