Peter Niedertscheider

His preferred material is marble, for its qualities as material and for its examples in art history – both of which give rise to complex questions. He relates the stone statue of the human figure to modern spaces, opening up new possibilities for contemporary figurative sculpture. In his research, Peter Niedertscheider also makes use of video, photography and performance. A space is not the frame for a composition, but the prerequisite for a certain disposition – a possible arrangement of cultural experiences. This applies both to individual fully sculptured figures and to the disposition of mass figures in his reliefs.

Peter Niedertscheider will direct a four-week course from 2 to 29 August 2015.
