Daniel Robert Hunziker (born February 25, 1965 in Walenstadt ) is a Swiss visual artist . Since the mid-1990s, he has made a name for himself with his work “subtle spatial interventions and architecturally shaped installations”.

Life

After his school education he studied architecture at the ETH Zurich in 1988/89 , and in 1992/93 he spent a year of internship in New York with the American sculptor Willard Boepple. From 1993 to 1997 he continued his studies with a degree in visual arts at the Zurich University of the Arts . In 1997 he received his first of around six work grants from the city of Zurich, which was donated by the Vordemberge Gildewart Foundation . From 1994 he took part in group and solo exhibitions in museums and galleries, from 1997 he also designed solo exhibitions, for example in 1997 in the Helmhaus in Zurich, in 1999 in the Foundation for Iron Sculpture, Dr. Hans König, Zollikon , 2002 in the Aargauer Aargauer Kunsthaus and 2004 in the Kunsthaus Glarus.

The INFOLGE art project has been installed since the beginning of April 2000, completing its extensive, year-long redesign on the area around the Baden train station . The important public transport hub of a medium-sized center has been programmatically restructured with this open “Art in Architecture” project. Five artists or artist teams took part in the study competition, from which Hunziker emerged as the winner.

Hunziker lives in Zurich .

reception

Hunziker's works are shaped by his architectural understanding of room layout and design. His installations are correspondingly extensive. In addition, the artist loves the juxtaposition of urban elements with the free, often rural area as well as the “tricky relationship between people, culture and nature”, which “is expressed in the work as well as the comedy of a chance encounter”.
