B I O G R A P H Y
Rebecca Hackemann is a British/German conceptual artist who works in many media that are concerned with perception and space. Hackemann has exhibited in New York, NY, San Francisco, CA, London, England and Philadelphia, PA and was born, raised and educated in Germany, England and America.
Hackemann’s art practice challenges existing media categories, such as the flat photographic image on the wall. Her interest in philosophy and theory have always influenced the themes contained within her work, which is mostly concerned with issues of perception, representation, and the intersection between language and image, and in the public realm with the history of public space and urban planning in non-traditional urban locations.
Her photographs are currently being exhibiting at Paul Roebeson Gallery, Rutgers University, NJ until Jan 15th, 2012. Her recent “Urban Field Glass Project” - steel binoculars in New York can be seen on sidewalks until August 2012 (a NYFA/LMCC/DOT project).
In February 2012 she will be presenting at the International College Art Association Conference in Los Angeles.
