Raphaela Vogel (b. 1988, Nuremberg, DE)

Raphaela Vogel is an artist living and working in Berlin. She studied at the Städelschule in Frankfurt, as well as the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg. She has been a visiting professor at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe and is currently a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich.

Raphaela Vogel’s practice is installation-based, fusing sculpture, sound, and film, often appearing in iterations of the latter as herself. Vogel plays with varied media and materials to generate energy and tension, finding uncanny harmonies among seemingly disparate source imagery. Through her works, Vogel’s pushes the viewer into disruptive, fantastical territories.

Raphaela Vogel’s debut exhibition with Petzel will go on view at the gallery’s Chelsea location in January 2024, and will be complemented by an artist talk and live performance event at the Goethe-Institut New York. Vogel will also have solo exhibitions in 2024 at institutions including Kunsthalle Gießen, Germany and Centre d’art contemporain – la synagogue de Delme, France.
