Jürgen Fritz's artistic work is characterised by an interdisciplinary approach in which he combines elements from the areas of music, photography, video and body work to create performances, performative installations and scenes of various natures. He uses simple materials such as sticks of bamboo, marbles, tape and pocket knives with great precision and concentration to create impressive pictures. Jürgen Fritz, who initially worked as a director, curator and actor before dedicating himself to performance art, is a founding member of Black Market International, a cooperation of artists who have presented performances worldwide since 1985. Jürgen Fritz always develops his works at the scene of their performance. This is also true of his performance “Stockhaus” at the Kasseler Kunstvereinsheim. During the course of the two days of his performance he will transform the room into a labyrinth of twigs and tape in which various actions will be performed.
Jürgen Fritz, born in Schramberg/Black Forest in 1958, studied Theater and Music at the Justus-Liebig -University in Gießen. Jürgen Fritz lives and works in Hildesheim.
Curator: Bernhard Balkenhol
