Nicolene Burger

Nicolene Burger is a South African-based artist and curator, working primarily in oil-paint and performance. Her installations and performances look at questions around how we remember individually and collectively.

In improvised, spontaneous collaborations with her audiences, Nicolene aims to create complex sensory experiences that involve the body of the viewer through taste, smell, sound and often through the physical engagement with her artworks. In this way, she invites the viewer to become part of an informal and fluid creation process, as their participation continues, extends and deepens the meaning of the work.

Thereby, relaying more directly the sense of vulnerability with which she makes art and the core believe to her practice: Art is an immensely important and powerful bridge of communication that can offer understanding, healing and connection
