Renate Lorenz works as an artist, curator and academic author. Her recent artworks, made in collaboration with Pauline Boudry, use methods such as ‘queer archaeology’ and ‘temporal drag’, referencing sex and gender discourses as well as ‘queer becomings’ in historical portrait photography, film and dance. Lorenz teaches art and queer/gender theory and is part of the research project‚ Performative Culturess at the Freie Universität Berlin. Recently she curated the conference, exhibition and workshop, Freaky: Queer Art Conference (Berlin 2009). She regularly contributes to publications and was co-editor and author of a foundational publication about art and politics in the Nineties, Copyshop – Kunstpraxis und Politische Öffentlichkeit (Practices of Art and Counterpublic, 1993).
