Melissa E. Logan

Melissa E. Logan, an acclaimed artist residing in in both Hamburg and Berlin, crafts her art through a diverse range of mediums. From performance and installations to video art, painting, and electronic music, she weaves intricate narratives using contradiction, process, cliché, and duration. Her work blurs the lines between authenticity and artificiality, touching on theory and embracing post-punk urgency within the avant-garde tradition.

Logan thrives in collaborative environments, gathering artists to explore themes, layer meanings, and create live installations. One remarkable project, 'On Air' at Gold+Beton Gallery in Cologne, saw musicians performing original material for eight consecutive days, simulating a 'live radio' program. Another venture at the Tinguely Museum in Basel involved injecting artificial voice commands into public spaces, blurring the boundaries between reality and the fabricated.

A pivotal figure in the art world, Logan co-founded the iconic collective Chicks on Speed during her studies at The Academy of Arts in Munich. With Chicks on Speed, she has exhibited, performed, and lectured globally, leaving an indelible mark on renowned institutions like MoMA, Pompidou, and Tate Britain.

Melissa E. Logan's impact transcends borders; she is represented by Galerie Gisela Clement in Bonn and contributes significantly to the art scene through her label and performance company, University of Craft Action Thought, founded in 2016.
