Anna-Sophie Springer is a writer, editor, curator, and co-director (with Charles Stankievech) of K. Verlag, an independent Berlin-based publishing project exploring the book as a site for exhibition making. Her practice merges curatorial, editorial, and artistic interests by stimulating fluid relations among images, artifacts, and texts in order to produce new geographical, physical, and cognitive proximities, often in relation to historical archives. She has previously worked as associate editor of publications for the 8th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art and as editor for the pioneering German theory publisher Merve Verlag, before launching K. in 2011. Anna-Sophie is also a member of the Haus der Kulturen der Welt’s SYNAPSE International Curators’ Network, where she co-edits the “intercalations: paginated exhibition book series,” co-published by K. within the framework of the HKW’s Anthropocene Project. As a curator, her previous exhibitions (often in collaboration) include the touring group show Ha Ha Road (UK, 2011–12), on the subversive power of humor; The Subjective Object (GRASSI Ethnographic Museum Leipzig, 2012), on display practices and the archive; as well as the series EX LIBRIS (Galerie Wien Lukatsch, Berlin and other venues, 2013), exploring various libraries as curatorial spaces. Her exhibition project 125,660 Specimens of Natural History (co-curated with Etienne Turpin) opened at Komunitas Salihara in Jakarta, Indonesia, in August 2015. Her essays and interviews have been published in journals including in Cmagazine, Fillip, and Scapegoat. Her collection of interviews, TRAVERSALS: Five Conversations on Art and Writing, appeared in September 2014, and in January 2015 her exhibition catalog Fantasies of the Library was published as the inaugural title in the “intercalations” series. She is also the editor of The Subjective Object (Berlin/Leipzig, 2012) and co-editor of intercalations 2: Land & Animal & Nonanimal (Berlin, 2015). Anna-Sophie has presented lectures at international conferences, art events, and seminars, including at Art Metropole, Toronto; Barber Shop, Lisbon; Bauhaus University, Weimar; 8th Berlin Biennale, Berlin; Center for PostNatural History, Pittsburgh; HKW, Berlin; ISEA2010 Ruhr, Dortmund; OCAD University, Toronto; Ruru Gallery, Jakarta, Indonesia; Printed Matter, New York City; Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia; University of Toronto, Canada; Weltkulturenmuseum, Frankfurt; Westminster University, London; and Yukon School of Visual Arts, Dawson City, Canada. Anna-Sophie received her MA in contemporary art theory from Goldsmiths, University of London, and her MA in curatorial studies from the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst, Leipzig. In 2014 she was a participant in the Anthropocene Curriculum as well as the Craig-Kade Visiting Scholar in Residence at Rutgers University. Among her many recent activities, Anna-Sophie has been commissioned to produce a series of essays and interviews on human–animal topics for the HKW’s SYNAPSE Curators’ Network blog as well as to contribute a workshop to SYNAPSE 2015.
