Martin Höfer (born 25 October 1982) is a German artist who works in conceptual and media art. In his work he explores interventions of visual art, and the relationship between performer and audience in relaation to sports and society. His research and teaching is focused on media, public communication, and technology.
Early life[edit]
Höfer was born in Sondershausen, the son of the German writer Gerald Höfer and the therapist Ute Höfer, and spent his childhood in Sondershausen and Bendeleben near the Kyffhäuser. He came into contact with art at an early age through his father. For example, in the mid-1980s his father organized the event series Das Café Pille Experiment in Sondershausen with readings, cabaret, performances and exhibitions.[1][not specific enough to verify]
Career[edit]
Starting in 1998 he and his father participated in Barbara Rossa, a pseudonym that presented as a "multimedia literary project".[2][3][4] The aim of the project is to present literary texts in multimedia form and at performances.[5]
In 2005 he began studying media art at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig[6][7] In the years that followed, he participated in several international residencies.[8][9][10] In 2013, he graduated with a degree in Fine Arts. In 2015, he received a six-month Artist in Residence grant funded by the Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen to participate in the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) in New York.[11]
In 2010 he created Siegen im Auftrag der Kunst (Victory on behalf of art), an artwork where the artist himself becomes the client for a racing team.[12][13] From 2014 to 2018, he created interventions with the German National Bobsled Team,[14] and in 2016, he made work in response to the basketball Bundesliga game Science City Jena against Alba Berlin.[15][16][17] In the same year, he staged a participatory performance with 7.500 fans in the Allianz Arena during the Bundesliga soccer match FC Bayern Munich against RB Leipzig.[18] In the exhibition Mythos Tour de France at the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf, he created the work The surplus self of mine promotes my triumph (Eigenblutdoping) in response to the 2017 Tour de France in Düsseldorf.[19]
In 2018, he received a European Union grant from the Thuringian Ministry of Economics at Thüringer Zentrum für Existenzgründungen und Unternehmertum (ThEx) for "innovation-based projects" promoting "artists in our pool in such a way that they rise in the ArtFacts ranking. In this way we increase the value of your works of art."[20][21] Also in 2019, he served as artistic director of ANHYDRITE — Biennale of Media Art.[22] In 2015 he curated the exhibition Inauguration — Dialektik zeitgenössischer Kunst (Inauguration - Dialectics of Contemporary Art)[23] and 2018 real unreal.[24]
