Zoë Claire Miller is a sculptor and organizer based in Berlin. Miller’s art in the media of sculpture, installation, or performative drawing engages with body politics, sensuality, tactility, queer theory, flora & fauna and the joint use of negative and positive space. In past exhibitions she has explored themes like the martyrdom of St. Agnes (the patron Saint of the #metoo movement), female masturbation as a metaphor for creative production, the emancipatory potential of lost knowledge on contraceptive and abortive herbs, the disintegration of the body as a pleasurable experience, or the water cooler as a site of resistance via gossip.

Formally, she aims to produce new shapes that reflect how entities, bodies and matters can be activated in a non-patriarchal manner: allowing things to drip, dribble, spread, hover, pool, be a mist, or a smell; showing the self as a site of pleasure & humor. She is interested in dissolving the boundaries of authorship in order to negate the art-historical cliché of the lone creative genius & the contemporary specter of neoliberal, ultracompetitive modes of production. She is also very interested in the reciprocal entanglements of interspecies relationships. Her collaborative work, notably with Brazilian sculptor Juliana Cerqueira Leite, draws on “autocoscienza femminista” (after Carla Lonzi) as an act of creating artistic situations and experiences together as a means of developing a truly feminist subjectivity.

She's a spokeswoman of the bbk berlin (professional association of visual artists Berlin), which is primarily focused on political issues concerning artists’ rights, work conditions and infrastructure on a local/national level, but is also active in the transnational struggles of gender equality, antifascism, et al.
