Peter Weibel

Peter Weibel received the Lovis Corinth Prize in 2020. Over his career he has shaped the international media art scene as an artist, a theorist and a curator. His practice spans conceptual art, performance, experimental film, video and computer art, and he has also explored music. This book gives an overview of the breadth of his work.

It focuses on two main strands. The first gathers works in which Weibel engages with fundamental questions about Europe. The second includes works that critique the system and repeatedly challenge the conventional idea of what art is. These take up migration, expulsion, war and terrorism, as well as economic and ecological catastrophe.
