Gregor Schneider. Catalogo Della Mostra (Los Angeles, 12 October 2003-summer 2004; New York, 10 November-20 December 2003). Ediz. Inglese
"Making is a higher form of thinking," claims Gregor Schneider, who began to make art as an adolescent. So urgent was his desire to be an artist that, in order to pay for the materials he needed to make his sculptures, he even worked as a gravedigger. Introverted, self-effacing and a close observer of human behavior--with a particular passion for the lowliest of social categories--Schneider has developed an all-absorbing identification with his work, living together with it night and day in an apartment he soundproofed from the rest of the world. Schneider has tried his hand at film, painting and sculpture, but most remarkable is the installation he created between 1985 and 1994, in his home. There he built rooms within rooms, walls in front of walls, doors that led nowhere and windows that opened onto dead spaces. When asked about his motivations, he would defiantly proclaim, "I can't do anything else." This monograph surveys his work.
End
Gregor Scheider's work is about rooms - visible and invisible, doubled and duplicated, labyrinthine rooms within rooms. Rather than following a particular principle, he observes the effects that interventions in the common logic of existing architecture have on our perception. The result is frightening, disorientating and in an uncanny way, magically fascinating. Presented here, on numerous colour plates, are two tours that are characteristic of his work. These nightmarish trips lead us through suppressed subconscious experiences, through 'black holes', familiar yet sinister spaces, oversized, walk-in sculptures with rooms that are doubled or duplicated through mirrors and doors. The perception of time and space becomes warped and the idea of the artistic original is scrutinised by this continual doubling and repetition. This book, the most comprehensive monograph on Gregor Schneider to date, was designed and photographed by the artist himself. Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Museum Abteiberg, Germany, November 2008 - July 2009. English and German text.

Gregor Schneider Preisträger Ernst Franz Vogelmann-Preis für Skulptur 2023 Den Räumen nie entkommen zu können, weil sie gesellschaftlich und durch Tabus aufgeladen sind, weil sie neben ihrer physischen auch eine psychische Wirkung entfalten, kennzeichnet die künstlerische Haltung von Gregor Schneider. Gregor Schneider, 1969 in Rheydt geboren, ist 2001 mit »Totes Haus u r« schlagartig einer breiten Öffentlichkeit bekannt geworden, nachdem die Arbeit auf der Biennale in Venedig mit dem Goldenen Löwen ausgezeichnet worden war. Nun erhält er, nach Roman Signer, Franz Erhard Walther, Thomas Schütte, Richard Deacon und Ay¿e Erkmen, den Ernst Franz Vogelmann-Preis 2023 für Skulptur. Der seit 2016 an der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf lehrende Künstler »schaut hinter die Fassade der Dinge und definiert nebenbei die Begriffe Bildhauerei und Installation neu«, begründete die Jury ihre Wahl. Und in der Tat, seine biografisch fundierte Agenda bildet den irritierenden Ausgangspunkt seiner Arbeiten, die die BesucherInnen zu handelnden AkteurInnen werden lassen. Ausstellung: Kunsthalle Vogelmann, Heilbronn, 15/7 - 29/10/2023
Gregor Schneider
Chosen to represent Germany in the 2001 Venice Biennale, Gregor Schneider has, since the 1980s, dedicated himself to building rooms as an expression of his art. The focus of his work has been an ordinary tenement building in Germany, known as "Haus u r," where he has lived while transforming it into a building of great atmospheric density though the process of continuous rebuilding.This book documents Schneider's work on the German Pavilion for the Venice Biennale.
Gregor Schneider
Talks about artist Gregor Schneider's extension of the original work, a document and exploration of Schneider's obsession with repression, reproduction, and repetition in images and text. Internationally renowned for his unnerving presentation of normality, Schneider's medium is the room - kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, and cellar.
Gregor Schneider
Gregor Schneider (b. Rheydt, Germany, 1969; lives in Rheydt) is an influential and controversial artist whose work critics like to misunderstand. Disavowing the art object, he thinks by constructing spaces. In the mid1980s, he sought to pinpoint the idle state of action. He altered spaces by inserting duplicates, demolishing an economic way of thinking. Over the past fifteen years, he has gradually moved toward the field of politics and the public sphere. Schneider's works cross Germany's more recent history with the nonplaces of personal existence; he stages encounters between cultural moments that are alien to one another--for example, he wanted to build a black cube in the dimensions of t...
Gregor Schneider: White Torture
"White" or "clean" torture aims to destroy a person's psyche without leaving any demonstrable traces. Going off images from the U.S. prison camp in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, Gregor Schnieder here creates interrogation-room and cell-like spaces and inserts them into existing museum architecture.

"The concept called for the display of ten exemplary presentations from four decades of Bremerhaven exhibition history in the reconstructed Kabinett at the MMK. Ten artists, nearly all of whom have works in the MMK collection, were invited to take part in the series as 'Gregor Schneider's guests'."--Page 9.
