Masterclass Olaf Nicolai

20 February (afternoon & evening)
Nicolai’s masterclass will focus on the topic ‘Repeat is not Return’.

Olaf Nicolai (DE) is a German artist whose conceptual approach and use of diverse
media question the way in which we view our everyday environment. He also translates
theories from science and the arts into aesthetic-artistic idioms, rendering them
accessible in a new context. His works deal with the perception of time in the reception
of art. Nicolai has participated in international solo and group exhibitions. His works
were shown at Documenta X, and at the 49th and 51st Venice Biennales. Several of his
works can be found in public collections, such as the Museum of Modern Art / New York;
Thyssen Bornemisza Art Contemporary /Vienna; Friedrich Christian Flick Collection /
Berlin and Migros Museum / Zürich.
