Anke Becker is a visual artist and curator based in Berlin and Brandenburg, Germany.
Anke Becker's artistic work ranges from conceptual drawings and sitespecific installations to visual poetry, collective art and art-in-architecture projects. She engages with the presence and absence of language, line, and text in a variety of ways. Drawing, line, color and text are interwoven and complement and comment on each other according to an experimental principle of control and chance. Despite formal and conceptual rigor, Becker's works and actions usually also reveal a sense of humor and irony. Many of Becker's serial drawings, installations and collaborative projects with other artists have developed over the years and are not limited in time. Her work oscillates between baroque meandering and strict minimalism.
Anke Becker is also the founder and curator of the international art and exhibition project ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS, she has been running the long-term art project for visual poetry ECONOMICWORDS since 2012 and is co-founder of the DAMENSALON BERLIN, a network of female artists with monthly salon evenings and changing guests. 2015/2016 she initiated the international MAIL ART - Projects „Fernweh-The good life“ and „Heimweh Homesickness“. Since 2022, she has organized OderBuch an annual series of literary events in Brandenburg, Germany.
