Dorothea Schulz (1962)
Dorothea Schulz
Dorothea Schulz is a German artist and graphic artist.
She reveals etymologies, finds pleasure in bar chatter and images, and discovers the Last Judgment both in pubs and in institutions of federal justice.
For about ten years now, Dorothea Schulz has been predominantly concerned with comprehension and communication, listening and its visual processing. The artist creates her so-called listening drawings during conversations that she accidentally hears or in which she herself actively participates. Snippets of speech are mixed with small, sometimes grotesque figurative drawings to create documents of spoken language that expose both the everyday use of language and its associative processing in the act of communication.
Dorothea Schulz became known to a wider audience after her participation in the exhibition Funny Cuts (2004) at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart.
