Antje Majewski

Antje Majewski is a German painter and contemporary artist. Her research-based practice bridges art, ecology, anthropology, and philosophy, and often unfolds through long-term projects that combine painting with film, installation, and collaborative formats. Majewski explores relationships between people, objects, plants, and histories, addressing themes of ecological change, cultural transformation, and collective knowledge. Her major projects include The World of Gimel (2009–ongoing), Apple. An Introduction. (2010–2015), and How to talk with birds, trees, fish, shells, snakes, bulls and lions (2018). In 2023 she presented The Man Who Disappeared / Amerika at neugerriemschneider, Berlin, a project linking human migration history and colonialism with artificial intelligence-assisted painting. Majewski has exhibited at institutions including Hamburger Bahnhof, Kunsthaus Graz, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp, and her works are held in the collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Museum of Art, Łódź. She is Professor of Painting at the Braunschweig University of Art.
