Portrait Sarah Marcinkowski Goldrausch Kuenstlerinnenprojekt 2021

Sarah Marcinkowski, Intern

Sarah Marcinkowski has been studying art and visual history in the Master’s program at Humboldt-University of Berlin since 2019. In her engagement with aesthetic theory, film, performance and installation, she focuses on a feminist perspective on contemporary art as well as an institution-critical approach to the structures of the art world. As part of the student curatorial collective Kleine Humboldt Galerie, she mainly moves within the fields of curatorial practice, mediation and editing – always with the question in mind of how to rethink contemporary structures. In the context of her internship at Goldrausch, she is especially looking forward to accompanying the participants in their process and gaining insight into an explicitly feminist project that creates space for and, most importantly, together with women artists.
