Michael Müller

Michael Müller, born 1970 in Ingelheim am Rhein, is a German conceptual artist whose manifold, proliferating oeuvre cannot be ascribed to any one-way interpretation. He continuously broadens the methods of his artistic expression, combining works on paper with painting, text-based work, sculpture, found objects, music, and performance. In recent times, Müller has concentrated more and more on large paintings on canvas and glass. Müller collaborates with other artists, writers or craftsmen on a regular basis—he even created a cosmetic line and fashion collection—incorporating their work into his often exuberant installations and exhibitions. He received great critical and curatorial attention for his cycle of Eighteen Exhibitions, which began in 2013 with Galerie Thomas Schulte and ended in 2017 after a total of 33 individual exhibition projects and four performances that took place in the gallery, at KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin, and at Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden.
