Caroline Kronenberg is a Sydney-based sculpture and installation artist. Kronenberg enacts a ‘zoom in/zoom out’ in her work to explore the macrocosm of infinite time alongside the fleeting experiences of our personal, human timescale. Transitory moments form a recurring theme, and time itself is utilised as a medium to focus attention on the fourth dimension running in parallel to us all. Imbued with an object resonance, her works draw us in close for a moment of pause. Natural patterns and the forces of nature inhere in Kronenberg’s work, and universal themes, common to all, offer shared experiences of our place in the greater chain of existence.
Born in Switzerland, Kronenberg spent her teenage years in Hong Kong, before moving to Sydney. She holds a Bachelor of Applied Science (Vision Science) from the University of Sydney, and a Master of Arts (with excellence) at UNSW Art & Design. Kronenberg has held residencies at Fowler’s Gap Arid Desert Research Station (2017) and Ne’-Na Contemporary Art Space, Thailand (2017-2018) where she held her first solo exhibition, Shadows.
Kronenberg has been in numerous group shows in Sydney and Melbourne and was an invited artist in Eden Unearthed at Eden Gardens, Macquarie Park (2017 and 2021). Forthcoming, she will exhibit at Sculptures by the Sea in Bondi, Australia, the world’s largest free to the public sculpture exhibition.Kronenberg was a finalist in the 2018 Alice Prize and in the 2017 Tim Olsen Drawing Prize.
