Lives and works in Hamburg, Germany
Judith Walgenbach was born in Herten/NRW in the middle of Germany and is nowadays working as an artist of the Fine Arts in Hamburg. Her work includes conceptual designs, installations, sculptures, drawings, digital images, and social art projects.
These artworks have their own individual dignity, but don´t stay only in an additive way side by side. They are linked in many ways with each other like, for instance: Based on conceptual designs installations are realized, sculptures created, photographed and inserted into antique images with the intention of >Creating History< by transplantations from the present to the past.
This strategy is grounded on the self-developed approach > Epistemological ScienceArt " which is directed to an integration of art, science and everyday life. To justify this approach supplementary also scientifically, a cooperation exists since 1989 with the international and intercultural Science Net > Interdisciplinary Self-System Design INSYDE<, founded (J.W. is a co-founder) by researchers of the interdisciplinary Leibniz-Institute for Science Education IPN at the University of Kiel in cooperation with artists and scientists of Europe and Latin America.
The created artworks were presented among others in international exhibitions for the integration of Science and Art. Artworks in this field thematise often only certain aspects of the sciences like sampling or lecturing . In contrast, the approach >Epistemological ScienceArt< shows an integrative unfolding of epistemic-aesthetical objects such as the >Biomass Yeath Dough< by bringing its into a tension full interaction with complementary categories like order~chaos, part~whole, autopoiesis~allopoiesis, etc. The viewer can trace how systems are generated with these heuristic means . He should be stimulated to participate with his research to his own heuristics for the >Creation of the New<. Therefore, the ultimate and central objective of the approach >Epistemological ScienceArt< is >Creating Creators< by making each one to a researcher of his own means for the design of himself and the world. This is following the programmatic statement of Joseph BEUYS >Each one is an artist<. Therefore, artworks on the base of the approach >Epistemological ScienceArt> flow ultimately into social art projects.
