Life

Marcus Steinweg, who comes from a family of lawyers, began to read books by Augustinus , Heidegger , Jaspers , Kant , Kierkegaard and Sartre from his parents' library at the age of 12 out of puberty . Although he only partially understood it, he still made a profit from reading it. After three years he made the decision to make philosophizing part of his life. After high school , he began studying philosophy in 1992 Friborg to the phenomenology to meet you. However, disappointed in the university teaching, which seemed too uncreative and sterile to him, he dropped out after a few months. He then financed his livelihood by doing odd jobs and moved to Cologne - a center for contemporary art in the 1990s  - where, among other things, he wrote art-philosophical texts for exhibitions. In 1994 his first book Frakturen was published , which he had designed as an art object.

In 2002 Steinweg was able to successfully complete a degree in art with a diploma. In 2008/2009 he had a teaching position at the University of Fine Arts Braunschweig , and in 2014/2015 he took on a visiting professorship for time-related media at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg (HFBK). In 2016, Marcus Steinweg taught at the Berlin University of the Arts ; In 2017 he did his doctorate at the HFBK Hamburg with the work Subject and Truth , which was published in 2018 by Matthes & Seitz Berlin . He has been working at the State Academy for Fine Arts in Karlsruhe since 2017 , initially as a deputy professor and from 2018 as a full professor for art and theory. He has been working with the artist Thomas Hirschhorn and the artist Rosemarie Trockel for years .

Together with Wilfried Dickhoff, Marcus Steinweg publishes the magazine Inaesthetics at Berlin's Merve Verlag , which thematically deals with the interface between art and philosophy and contains articles in German, English and French . In addition to Merve, he also publishes his books, which appear in small editions of around 1,000 copies, with Matthes & Seitz Berlin. In his lectures, Marcus Steinweg philosophizes live and in free speech; he sees his appearances as performances of free thinking.

Steinweg lives in Berlin and Paris .
