Life

Born in Argentina, he received lessons in plastic design in the studio of the sculptor Aurelio Macchi at the age of 14. After graduating from high school in 1978, Auslender began studying art at the Prilidiano Pueyrredon Art Academy in March 1979 before moving to Carrara (Italy) in June 1982. At the art academy there he studied under Floriano Bodini from 1982 to 1987 and learned the classical techniques of sculpture (working with stone, wood, plaster, terracotta). In 1987 he was a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich with a scholarship from the Reissmüller Foundation, and in 1988 worked as a master student on some of Eduardo Paolozzi's works .

In 1989 he became artistic assistant in the plastic design department of the TU Darmstadt, architecture department, with Floriano Bodini. In 2006 he was appointed full professor to the chair of sculptural design at the TU Darmstadt. He is the dean of the architecture faculty at the TU Darmstadt.

Auslender is a member and former long-term board member of the New Darmstadt Secession . He is a member of the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca (Rome) and a member of the board of trustees of the Otto Bartning Foundation in Darmstadt.

In 1989 Auslender married the sculptor Susanne Auslender b. Dieckert. Both live and work in Darmstadt.

Act

At the beginning of his artistic career, Auslender illustrated several books of world literature for the Aurora publishing house in Buenos Aires. He had his first solo exhibition in 1990 in the studio of the Kunsthalle Darmstadt, and in 1995 he designed the cladding of the large column in the parish hall of St. Joseph's Church in Frankfurt - Bornheim . This was followed by further orders for altars, tabernacles, stations of the cross and entire chapels. His most recent major work is the free plastic group "Justitia" for the new justice building in Darmstadt.

His development goes from busts and reliefs, which are attached to steles or altars, to free sculptures that are interested in movement in space. Auslender has recently been experimenting with glass as a casting material and has achieved amazing effects.
