from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Norbert W. Hinterberger (born September 7, 1949 in Altmünster , Austria ) is an Austrian artist and university professor .

Life

Hinterberger lives and works in Berlin, Weimar, Linz and at the Amazon estuary near Belém. From 1970 to 1976 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (art) and at the University of Vienna (philosophy / psychology). From 1979 to 1993 he was assistant to Laurids Ortner ( Haus-Rucker-Co ) at the Linz Art Academy and to the master class for visual design (visiting professors Günther Feuerstein , Jochen Gerz , Günther Förg , Dietmar Eberle , Wolfgang Flatz , Alfred Zellinger , Herbert Lachmayer ). After his visiting professorship at the Escola de Artes Visuais (Rio de Janeiro), he has been professor of fine art at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar's design faculty since 1993 . The core of the teaching is the "project as a central study unit". In 1998 Hinterberger was visiting professor at the University of Newcastle / Sydney. From 1999 to 2001 he was dean of the design faculty at the Bauhaus University Weimar and has been a mentor in the PhD of Fine Arts doctoral program since 2009.

Hinterberger is a member of the artists' association MAERZ .

plant

In his kind of artistic research, Hinterberger deals with questions of human existence - from ancestry to visions of the future. In doing so, he often exhausts the height of the fall from high culture to everyday life and works in an ironic way with common clichés from community life and viewing art.

"His personal approach is more geared towards something like an encyclopedic exploration of the world."

Hinterberger's oeuvre includes drawings, objects, actions, installations, artist books as well as realizations in public space, often closely related to the genius loci of the exhibition locations. His artistic-scientific occupation with evolution and the incarnation led u. a. for the design of the exhibition Evolution. Paths of Life , German Hygiene Museum , Dresden 2005.

"For him, visual design is not the reshaping of a surface, but a thought that has become an object."
