Wiebke Grösch

Wiebke Grösch is an interdisciplinary artist and educator with a focus on urban environments, architecture, and public space. She studied at HfG Offenbach (Diploma in Sculpture, 1997) and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (Institute for Art Theory and Cultural Studies). She currently teaches graphic design, photography, and art at art academies and a high school in Darmstadt (part-time). Grösch served as Print Producer for documenta 14 in 2017 and has exhibited internationally, including solo shows at Frankfurter Kunstverein and Museum Wiesbaden.

Her research involves long-term projects like the investigation of Olympic Village legacies in Los Angeles, South Korea, and Australia, which combined archival materials with site-specific installations. Grösch's work explores how materials and content shape spatial narratives, particularly in urban contexts. She has collaborated extensively with Frank Metzger since their student years at HfG Offenbach.
