Magdalena Gerber (Geneva / CH) is interested in shifts in perception and reality. Many of her works see themselves as a comment or reinterpretation of everyday objects that suddenly develop their own poetry in a dysfunctional manner.
Magdalena Gerber, born in 1966 in Langnau/Emmental (CH), is mainly working with ceramics and porcelain, passionately inventing new forms and tectures by means of investigating technology and experimental research.
Shifts of mind and reframing the way we look at reality are the recurring themes in her work as well as the interaction between coincidence and the precision of technical knowhow. Most of her objects are intended to comment and re-interpret the functinonality of the ordinary, pointing out the normal and the extra-ordinary function behind.
Magdalena Gerber lives and works in Geneva, since 2001 lecturing at Haute école d’art et design. Since 2013 she is also head of Le Centre d’Expérimentation et de Réalisation en Céramique Contemporain (CERCCO).
