Gregor Schneider

Gregor Schneider (b.1969) works with that existence which escapes perception, through real-size architectural installations. By repeatedly de/re/constructing rooms and domestic spaces, to addressing the sore spots of society, Schneider has made a practice an art genre of its own.

In 2008, he spoke about creating a room to die in and his desire to show a dying person in a museum. His own personal Dying Room is now constructed for the first time in Germany.

habitat extends an invitation to Schneider because of his vanguard ability to see, and go, beyond.

Winner of the Golden Lion award for his work in the German Pavilion in Venice in 2001, ‘Totes Haus u r’, Schneider has earned a reputation as an outstanding artist and as the creator of an utterly baffling oeuvre. He is also the author of the book Mein Erster Brockhaus (2012), subject of five documentary films, and Professor in most of the prominent German Art Schools, from Berlin to Munich and Hamburg. He is now Professor at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.

Schneider is represented by Konrad Fischer Galerie, Germany, Sprovieri in the UK and Wako Works of Art in Japan.
