About

In his work, the German-British artist Michael Müller (*1970) explores the aesthetics and visualisation of complex thought processes, which he constantly questions in terms of their sensual experience and material content. Starting from historical narratives, scientific methods, social norms as well as linguistic and numerical systems, he develops an artistic practice that constantly takes these systems and structures to their limits through variation, transformation, manipulation and fictionalising modification. The resulting deviations and irritations, as well as the resulting doubt about the existing and mistrust of unquestioned truths, create a completely independent artistic language of form that manifests itself not only in large-format paintings and drawings but also in sculptures, installations, performances and Müller’s curatorial practice.

Michael Müller lives and works in Berlin. From 2015 to 2018, he taught as a professor at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK). He is co-founder of the Alien Athena Foundation for Art.
