Charlie Stein Germany, b. 1996

Charlie Stein is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and cultural theorist. Her practice operates at the intersection of contemporary art, technology, and critical theory. She engages with themes such as embodiment, intimacy, digital surrealism, and digital aesthetics, working across painting, installation, text, and AI-supported collaborations. With a background in sociology and fine arts, Stein explores the transitions between physical and virtual space, between craft and machine, and between the individual and systemic structures.

Stein has participated in both international and national exhibitions, including Manifesta 11, Kunsthalle CCA Andratx, the Sculpture Triennial in Bingen, as well as exhibitions in museums across Europe and Asia. Her work was also included in the ISCP x Almine Rech benefit auction. She is a Fellow of the ISCP program in New York and has held teaching appointments and guest professorships at institutions such as CalArts (Paul Brach Visiting Scholar), the Pratt Institute, the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK), and in Hamburg, where she temporarily led the class of Jorinde Voigt at HfBK. Charlie Stein lives and works in Berlin.
