Käthe Kruse
Käthe Kruse, born in Bünde in 1958, lives and works in Berlin. Since the 1980s, as part of the West Berlin avant-garde trio Die Tödliche Doris (The Deadly Doris, founded in 1979/80 by Wolfgang Müller and Nikolaus Utermöhlen), she has been exploring the interweaving of music, text, performance, video, film and painting, and has developed new formats that cannot be categorised in conventional ways. As a solo artist, Käthe Kruse also conceptually combines a wide variety of media to create her own artistic approach.
From 1990 to 1997 Käthe Kruse studied Visual Communication at Hochschule der Künste Berlin. She was a master student of Heinz Emigholz and recipient of the scholarship for the promotion of young talent.
