life and work

Born and raised in Gelsenkirchen-Buer, Stutzinger first spent a few years in Hamburg . Returning to the Ruhr area, he began his artistic work in 1983. Right from the start, she dealt with the documentation and the content of social processes. While his large-format objects made of glass, the so-called dokobs, were always a central focus of his creative work, Stutzinger moved over the years in a wide variety of fields of aesthetic forms of expression. A clear line can be seen from the construction of the first place of work and action "Ground Zero" in a bunker in Marl-Sinsen in the early 1980s, through the creation of short films, audio and video installations, and the publishing of an art newspaper ("Entrefilet") and the founding of the "Deutsche Kunst Manufaktur" in 2009 up to the reanimation of the salon culture, which he celebrated in his living room from 2005.

The "Kybernetikon Ruhr", which has existed since 1996, illustrates the core of Stutzinger's artistic way of working and being. As a “social sculpture in progress”, the cyberneticon is a multi-dimensional work of art and documentation tool created using the latest communication technologies. It sees itself as a targeted self-imprint of a certain region, the nodes of which are the artists who live and work in this region.
