Anja Westerfrölke was born in Germany. She lives and works in Linz, Austria, as a textile and new media artist. Her understanding of art as a collaborative and communicative event underlies her work and teaching. She has had exhibitions at home and abroad using installations, performance, video, internet, text and textile in public art institutions and site-specific situations. “As an artist I suggest, involve, provoke. Being a woman, my gender shapes the way I approach and encounter reality. I trust in the God Jesus Christ refers to. Yet, ‘artistic’, ‘female’ and ‘Christian’ are adjectives I like to challenge. Centuries of art production, feminism and biblical theology provide the references I need.” www.anja.west.servus.at
