Exhibitions (selection)

His artistic work has been shown in galleries and museums in Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Egypt, the Caribbean and in cities such as Paris, Moscow, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York. His most recent exhibitions include “painting installations” in St. Gallen , Berlin and Zurich , and a performance lecture at documenta 13 in Kassel in 2012.

Brandl calls this project, and himself in it, " Dr Great Art ."
