Ida Runge (*1983) lives and works in Berlin.

 

Runge prefers to "curate exhibitions rather than focus on individual objects." She is interested in the exchange of dialogues, ideas, objects, images, situations, and the collectivity of human existence. Through film, performance, and installation, she constructs exhibitions to create bizarre scenes and alternative realities. Like an independent organism, Ida Runge's works explore the boundaries of time and space and the possibilities of existence. In philosophical and poetic ways, they reinterpret deep ecological reflections on the current social situation. Her works have been presented in various national and international institutions such as Sprengel Museum, Germany; Mönchehaus Museum, Germany; and Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan, among others.

 

She has received a number of awards, such as 16th Li Chun-Shan Visual Arts Award, and has been a fellow of the Jahresstipendium des Niedersächsischen Ministeriums für Wissenschaft und Kultur, Germany; International Studio & Curatorial Program(ISCP), New York and Siao-Long Artists-in-Residence Program, Taiwan. In 2025 she will have her first major monographic solo exhibition at Thomas VanDyke Gallery in New York, USA.
