Angelika Huber, born in 1977 in Linz, Upper Austria, lives and works in Nuremberg, where she has done most of her studies in the Academy of Fine Arts. It is also in Germany that she has been exhibiting her work, and where some artworks were acquired, such as the installation wind catcher soul tracker (2022), by the Kunstreferats der Evangelisch – Lutherischen Kirche, in Bavaria, and In Motion ,Me and You’ (2021), also from the Kinetic Series, by the Zentrum für Kunst und Medien Karlsruhe.
Huber removes materials from their original state and function, introducing them in different contexts and setting them in motion, a process through which they acquire new forms and identities. As the artist understands, “giving time a different form of visibility and physicality plays a role in the use of ready-made”.
It is mostly through graphic elements and colours, in movement, that Huber’s ready-made come to fruition as reconfigured and reactivated objects. One of the artist’s most expressive works is the series Kinetic Stories, its title referring to kinetic art. Similarly to such art movement, Huber's pieces are located and emerge from the field of action where the ready-made and technology meet and intersect, operating in motion. The artist creates predominantly with geometric motifs, but sometimes she also uses letters or mirrors, elements that are always revealed in the form of frames in action. The compositions and materials vary depending on the space and the audience that will receive them.
