Beate Gärtner (she/her) is a contemporary artist based in Düsseldorf and the Ruhr area. Her works and projects have been showcased in exhibitions both nationally and internationally. She most recently studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and graduated at the HBK Essen in 2017. Between 2020 and 2024, she directed and curated the Neuland project space in Bochum. In her artistic practice, Beate Gärtner moves between the analog and digital worlds—realms that are increasingly merging in everyday life. Her work focuses on digital spaces, identities, and the transitions between analog and digital. She explores how digital media, apps, and technologies influence our perceptions, our relationships, and ultimately our sense of self. These observations form the starting point for her interdisciplinary works, which range from drawings and prints to objects and videos, as well as virtual and augmented reality installations. Her pieces offer poetic, often critical perspectives on the interplay between humans, machines, and mediated spaces.
