Analogous to Virginia Woolf’s extended essay, EIN EIGENER RAUM is a room of one’s own. Capturing the phenomena of what it means to ‘feel at home,’ and further conflating the boundary between public and private space, Randi Renate employs architectonic installations and abstracted vignettes to transport the viewer into a familiar space of the home. What liberties are given to an individual with a private place of being? Inspired by the artist’s own biography, the work invites viewers to wander and to question their own construction of their place, memories, and comfort.

Randi Renate was born in San Antonio, Texas and received a BFA in Studio Art and a BA in Philosophy from the University of Texas at Austin in 2014. She has exhibited her solo installations at Pump Project’s Flex Space in Austin and FL!GHT Gallery at Hot Wells in San Antonio. She currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany. This will be her first solo-exhibition outside of the US. randirenate.com
