Heiko Daxl

Heiko Daxl (born September 21, 1957 in Oldenburg , Lower Saxony ; † May 21, 2012 in Berlin ) was a German media artist , exhibition curator , gallery owner and design and art collector .

Life

Daxl grew up in Varel , Dangast on the Jade Bay and Neuchâtel (Friesland) in the Neuchâtel jungle until 1976 . During his school days at the Lothar-Meyer -Gymnasium in Varel and occasional trips to Jever , he came into contact with the medium of film and from this a relationship developed that would be decisive for his further life. After dropping out of architecture , urban studies and spatial research / spatial planning at the TU Braunschweig (1978), he switched to the University of Osnabrück , which at the time offered the communication and aesthetics course, which was unique in Germany . Here he studied media studies with Joachim Paech , Werner Faulstich , Walter Fähnders , Peter von Rüden , Ingo Petzke and Wolfgang Becker , as well as art studies with Franz-Joachim Verspohl , Walter Grasskamp , Lothar Knapp and Jutta Held . He received his Magister Artium in 1985 . Further stations of his studies were German and literature studies at the TU Berlin and art history at the University of Zurich .

Work and work

The interest for " Moving Pictures " has been at the center of his work and so he founded together with other 1980 under the direction of Ingo Petzke the experimental film - Workshop Osnabrück , an annual festival for experimental cinema that in 1988 the European Media Art Festival (EMAF ) further developed. Until 1992, Daxl played a key role in the profiling of this globally important forum for media art . From 1990 to 1991, together with Evgenija Dimitrieva and Keiko Sei, he edited the tenth and final edition of the international video art magazine Infermental in Skopje- Osnabrück , initiated by Gábor Bódy .

Through his work in international cultural exchange in more than 50 countries for the Goethe Institute , he met his future wife and partner Ingeborg Fülepp in The Hague in 1988 . They married in 1990 in Zagreb , then the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, now Croatia . From 1991 onwards, both of them established the exhibition series Media-Scape with international media art, first at the Mimara Museum and then at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb (until 1999) and since 2005 together with Jerica Ziherl in the Galerija Rigo and during the war in Croatia Muzej Lapidarium in Novigrad (Cittanova) in the Croatian region of Istria . In 2006, this series of programs was expanded to include Berlin in cooperation with Noam Braslavsky under the title Strictly Berlin in the Galerie der Künste (GdK).

Heiko Daxl and Ingeborg Fülepp worked since 1990 under the name mediainmotion and dafü® together on the fields of work film , video , interactive multimedia projects , digital art , video art , video installations and art education.

In addition to their own artistic oeuvre, their teaching activities and their work at the studio for electroacoustic music at the Akademie der Künste (Berlin) (1995–2002), they have also worked with numerous contemporary composers in the context of concerts and theater performances. Music and sound generation are an integral part of the work of Daxl and Fülepp. When, for example, in the collaboration with the experimental noise (music) composers Dror Feiler , Masami Akita ( Merzbow ), Zbigniew Karkowski and Elliott Sharp, the music reaches the limits of endurance, the cut visual fundus of technical errors, image breakdowns and staccato- Rhythms their cinematic equivalent. The collaborations with Georg Katzer , Mona Mur , Steve Roach , Gerhard Stäbler / Ensemble Modern , Bert Wrede , Tobias PM Schneid , Valerio Pizzorno , Igor Kuljeric and Mario Verandi , on the other hand, tend to have a sedate mood and an associative narrative character.

“They (Daxl and Fülepp) have been working together as an artist couple since 1991. They have created a large number of works that demonstrate their love of experimentation and which always move in the border areas of the still unknown. You will use new technologies to explore other and unknown optical and acoustic phenomena. The senses, both hearing, seeing and feeling, are always consciously addressed and with them the viewer's perception is irritated. Daxl and Fülepp show new ways of artistic examination of technical possibilities that generate sounds and abstract images that force the viewer to take a holistic view. Their aim is to get the recipient to think about the reality that is artificially and technically conveyed to him. "(Barbara Barsch)

From 2008 Daxl was involved in the European Union co-financed project X-OP - Exchange of Art Operators and Producers between Helsinki and Istanbul.
