CV |

| Born in Wolgast in 1983, grew up on the island of Usedom (GDR) Lives and works as an artist and cook in Vienna Projects and exhibitions in Vienna, Linz, Klagenfurt, Bratislava, Berlin, Eisenhüttenstadt, Hamburg, Kiel, Nuremberg, Ueckermünde, Greifswald, London and Basel The combination of performative action, objects, food and social interaction forms the core of her work. Her installations and dishes tell stories of social background, cultural identity and personal memories. Seemingly everyday things come into focus: with humour, her guests and objects alike become participants. Food becomes the glue that binds. People speak with their mouths full. Old memories suddenly lie on the tip of the tongue. New ones are chewed over and swallowed. Habits are carelessly cast aside. In this way, she repeatedly explores the gaps between the past and the present. In recent years, Steffi Parlow has had her fingers in many pies, consistently exploring the intersections between art, education, social practice and cuisine: through exhibitions and cultural events, as curator of an exhibition series, in teaching roles, workshops and talks at universities, schools and nurseries, in social projects, and as a head chef. |
