Antonia Hirsch

Antonia Hirsch (b. 1968, Frankfurt on Main, Germany) is a Berlin-based artist whose practice testifies to a long-standing engagement with the quantitative, spatial and syntactic systems that structure an understanding of our universe. Her work often relates these ordering structures to embodied and visual experience through which she explores how the ideological nature of these systems expresses itself through particular forms of abstraction.

Her work has been exhibited at the Salzburger Kunstverein; Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver; Power Plant, Toronto; the Taipei Fine Arts Museum; Tramway, Glasgow; and ZKM Museum of Contemporary Art, Karlsruhe, among others. Her work can be found in public collections such as that of the Vancouver Art Gallery, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Sackner Archive of Concrete & Visual Poetry, Miami Beach. Her writing and projects have appeared, among others, in artecontexto, C magazine, Fillip, and The Happy Hypocrite. She is the editor of the anthology Intangible Economies, published by Fillip in 2012.
