Thomas Stricker

Thomas Stricker (born in 1962, St Gallen) trained as an electrician before studying sculpture at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf from 1986-93. He has received numerous awards, exhibits internationally, and has realized projects in all manner of public spaces around the world. His teaching activities include numerous lecturing and teaching assignments at a number of universities. In 2012/13 he was a guest professor at the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design. Various work residencies have taken him to Outer Mongolia, the Azores, Australia, Africa, Mexico, China, and many other places. His work hinges on the artistic concept of “sculptural questioning” and an investigation of a broad variety of public, natural and social spaces. This means that his sculptural oeuvre can be situated in a wide field, spanning worlds of classical images and sculptured matter as well as conceptual and communicative processes and even imperceptibly social or socially committed sculpture.
