Biography: 
1973 Born in Bergen op Zoom (NL)
Lives and works in Rotterdam, (NL)
1992 - 1996 Studied Fashion at the Academy for Visual Arts in Rotterdam
The most important element and the main challenge in Madeleine Berkhemer's artistic questionning is to draw out and to test the sculpture to observe its limits. Former student at the fashion department of the Academy for Visual Arts in Rotterdam, she found a particular interest in tights both as a material and an emblematic accessory. Berkhemer's sculptures are oftenly struck by a tension between order and chaos, geometric and biomorphic, numerous and singular and also between continuity and persistent metamorphosis. Her sculptures draw different colorful baroque organisms, sometimes linked to a wall, like an insect cocoon, sometimes invading space, like a spider web. Each one of her sculptures in nothing but the representation of a body, of its outside, flesh and skin, but also of its inside, organs and entrails. Madeleine Berkhemer's own body constitutes its theme. The artist, in her researches about body, has invented three characters which could be interpreted as alter-ego : Milly, Molly and Mandy. By creating these three characters, and by keeping control of her own identity's implication in these works, she can project herself onto different situations, including the real world of pornography. Madeleine Berkhemer's art is influenced by Rebecca Horn, Paul Thek , La Cicciolina, Pierre Molinier, Camille Paglia, Alice Sprinkle and Pipilotti Rist.
