FRÉDÉRIC KRAUKE (GEB. 1981). Cookie Factory I.

Frédéric Krauke, born 1981 in West Berlin (GER), lives and works as performance, visual and fine artist in Berlin. He studied fine arts at the University of fine arts Berlin and has been performing and exhibiting international in diverses countries, occasions and institutions. In the last 9 years, Frédéric Krauke has also organized, financed and realized over 20 independent art projects and has shown over 300 international artists and their works.

"Although I originally come from the fine arts, and drawing and printmaking in particular, I have developed my artistic work via photography and short films to include organizing and realizing art events that combine a wide range of media, artworks, and characters of other artists. I also came to use performance art as a way to combine these experiences and transcend my own personal, mental, physical and spiritual limits, often in exchange and international collaborations with other performers and artists.

I have meanwhile arrived at my second cycle of life and creation, reflecting on and digesting the experiences of my recent years of performance art. Through video documentation and photography of my actions, a return to painting, printmaking, and drawing as forms of human expression".
