Günter Lierschof is a German artist and art theorist in the tradition of the "extended definition of art" and a former director of the Freie Kunstschule Hamburg, a branch of the Free International University.
Background[edit]
Until 1968, Lierschof studied at the "Höhere Technische Lehranstalt für Hochbau" in Innsbruck, before he went on to study at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg (1969-1975) under the supervision of, inter alia, Joseph Beuys, F. E. Walther, Bazon Brock, and Hilla Becher. Commissioned by Beuys, in 1980 he founded the Hamburg branch of the Free International University Art School in Hamburg,[1][2] where he had also been a professor from 1980 through 1987. The German concept artist and musician Carsten Reinhold Schulz is one of his notable students.
As of 1986, he was an art teacher at the Bischöfliches Gymnasium Paulinum in Schwaz, Tyrol, Austria, where he founded the Philosophicum.[3]
Lierschof is member of the Tyrolean Artists' Association, the "politically independent union of fine artists" in the Austrian Federal State of Tyrol.[4]
His work has been reviewed in several academic and artistic books and journals.[5][6]
Performances and exhibitions[edit]
A student of Joseph Beuys, Lierschof applied and further developed the Beuysian "extended definition of art". Lierschof's therefore combined art, science, and education. He is best known for his "lecture performances" such as Social Sculpture in Luhmann and Beuys – an unusual comparison, held at the Kassel-21 Social Sculpture Lab. A Global Lab for Joseph Beuys Centenary Celebrations.[7] Lierschof is also a well-known painter and caricaturist, often including his painting and sketches in his performances. Moreover, his installations such as on the Laws of the Everyday Life attracted attention in the international art-related media.[8] His social media avatars are Denkalarm and Domodossola.[9] On his blog, Luhmanns Schwarze Hefte (Luhmann's Black Notebooks), Lierschof publishes art-theoretical work in and against the tradition of Niklas Luhmann. He also published systems-theoretical and social philosophical books and essays.[10]
