Marie Christine Katz is a multi-media artist, born in Sierre, Switzerland, living in NYC since 1985. Her study and love of theatre and performance led her to combine art and performance to create work using various forms of expression and materials from paper, fabric, threads, metal wire, human hair, glass and wax to text, performance art, sound and video.
Recent group exhibition include Cheminement at the Galerie Duque&Pirson in Brussels, Belgium. Personal Geographies at the Hunter College/Time Square Gallery ExitArt in New York City, The Culture Project’s IMPACT Festival in New York City Wooloo’s New Life Berlin Festival in Berlin as well as The Women Artists’ Biennale, Seoul, Korea.

My  work has been described as an intuitive and spontaneous gesture in reaction to a current event or a personal situation that is then further developed over time. In my work I explore themes of quest, identity and transcendence through maps of physical and felt experience, primarily within an urban environment. I’m intrigued by others’ routines, recollections and rituals as I chart their journeys toward nourishment, love, bonding and memory over time. Often along the way I happen upon my own personal path, discovering the cusps that unify our lives in their rich complexities and quirks.  Here, at the edge of connection, I seek to touch people visually and emotionally.
The materials I use to get there depend on what’s available at the moment, on what I collect, plan as well as vary depending on the project. I have used paper, glass, charcoal, wax, fabric, metal, yarn, wire, thread, human milk and human hair (my own or a participant’s) mesh to yield the textures, layers and measurements that form the spine of my work.  The result is a body of conceptual documents that use text, sound, cartography, video and organic stuff to depict precise landscapes of completed odysseys and personal histories. I’m drawn to both the spiritual and the mundane; I like to tease out the transformation from one to another, and back again. My installations and performances are delicate, intricate, multi-dimensional worlds that radiate ethereal movement, expressing both the cyclical and fragile nature of life and yet can also be unsettling and disturbing.  They invite the viewer to participate, to become part of the narrative space, where drawings combine with video images recordings, performances and text tells of longings that can be, and are, fulfilled.
