Michael Schneider (graphic designer)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Schneider (born June 4, 1967 in Innsbruck ) is an Austrian printmaker .

Life

After graduating from high school in Landeck , Schneider studied printmaking from 1987 to 1991 at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts under Maximilian Melcher . From 1993 to 1997 he studied with Tetsuya Noda at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music ( Tokyo Kokuritsu Geijutsu Daigaku ) as a Monbusho scholar . Schneider specialized in woodcuts , drawing on Asian and European traditions. He is considered a pioneer of polymer printing and non-toxic printmaking in Austria.

Since 2005 he has been expanding printmaking together with the musicians Barbara Romen and Gunter Schneider in the direction of music and performance. Printmaking as artistic expression with the intention of publication becomes music in a synaesthetic process, and the duplicated recording of this process becomes printmaking.

In 2004/2005 he was the only European to be represented in the exhibition 100 Years of Japanese Woodcut at the Nagoya City Art Museum .

Schneider was visiting professor at Webster University St. Louis in 2005 and 2011 . From 2007 to 2011 he was Junior Research Professor at Webster University Vienna , from 2007 to 2015 Senior Artist at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Since 2015 he has been head of Department 1 of Printmaking at Tokyo University of the Arts (東京 藝術 大学 " Tōkyō Geijutsu Daigaku ").

Michael Schneider lives and works in Tokyo, Vienna and Landeck.
