About the Artist Maximiliane Baumgartner

Maximiliane Baumgartner (b. 1986 in Lindenberg im Allgäu) combines painting with a community-minded, pedagogical practice. Against the backdrop of (counter-)public spheres, she explores the relationship between art, education and urban space — not least through "Der Fahrende Raum," an art and action space she initiated and programmed in Munich from 2015 to 2019. Her pictures frequently break away from the rectangular panel, favouring polygonal forms informed by mural painting and graphic design. Baumgartner studied from 2006 to 2012 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich under Stephan Dillemuth, and lives and works in the city.
