Olaf Nicolai

Considered one of Germany’s leading artists, he takes on a range of conceptual themes.

Considered one of Germany’s leading artists, Olaf Nicolai takes on a range of conceptual themes, from political and cultural critiques to inquiries into human perception.

A recurring subject is the aesthetic appropriation of nature by human culture and design, explored through mixed-media sculptures and images, as in his juxtaposition of plant forms with depictions of hand gestures in Italian Renaissance paintings.

In addition to participating in solo and group exhibitions, he has shown at Documenta (1997 & 2017), and at the 49th and 51st Venice Biennale (2001 & 2005).

The lecture will be in English.
