Anna Schachinger
Jennifee-See Alternate, Copenhagen, Denmark
5 September – 5 October 2025
Jennifee-See Alternate is an artist-run space in Copenhagen that focuses on curation and collaboration. It encourages risk-taking and experimentation and aims to foster conversations between emerging international artists and the local Danish art scene. Throughout 2025, Jennifee-See Alternate will present the year-long exhibition Appendix, for which different artists will conceive of experiences to expand upon their individual work through performances, publications, and /or site-specific interventions. For the sixth chapter of the exhibition, artist Anna Schachinger (together with Erik Hällman) will present a new series of paintings repurposing found materials that investigate the strips of land between countryside roads and fields. This so-called ‘wayside’ is a space in which plants, affected by chemicals used on the fields, grow wild but are mowed regularly. The paintings reflect on the contradiction between what we perceive as natural, but which is in fact under human control.
Anna Schachinger (born 1990 in Vienna, Austria) grew up in India, Nicaragua and Austria. She studied at the School of Art Institute in Chicago and the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. In 2017, she participated in the Independent Study Programme Maumaus in Lisbon. Her works are often site-specific installations in which physical spaces become part of the work, as the artist makes their structures visible. Her work engages with the queer-feminist discourse in a visual and material way and oscillates between abstraction as well as figuration. She has exhibited at Sophie Tappeiner, Vienna; Wien MUSA, Vienna; Salzburger Kunstverein; MQ Art Box, Vienna; Encounter Contemporary, Lisbon; Lumia Citè, Lisbon; Belvedere 21, Vienna; Chris Sharp Gallery, Los Angeles; Galeria Quadrum and Avenida da India Gallery, Lisbon; X Museum, Beijing; Zahorian & Van Espen Gallery, Prague; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Madragoa ENCIMA, Lisbon; Brennan and Griffin, New York; fourteen30, Portland; lulu, Mexico City and fAN Kunstverein, Vienna.
This is her first collaboration with Phileas.
