Anke Becker is a visual artist based in Berlin, Germany.
Her artistic work ranges from conceptual drawings and installations to visual poetry and participatory projects. It deals with the presence and absence of language, line and text in a variety of ways. Becker's works mostly develop in the form of multi-part series that overlap time and content over and over again. Drawing and text are intertwined and complement and comment on each other according to an experimental principle of control and chance. Many of Becker's serial drawings, installations and collaborative projects with other artists have developed over the years and are not limited in time. Despite their formal and conceptual rigor, a certain sense of humor and irony is usually hidden in their work and actions.
Anke Becker is the founder of the international art and exhibition project ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS, runs the blog for visual poetry ECONOMICWORDS and is a founding member of the DAMENSALON BERLIN, an artist network with monthly salon evenings and changing guests.
