Volker Hildebrandt
1953 Duisburg
Volker Hildebrandt is a German media artist.
The artist, who lives in Cologne, studied art history and special education in Bonn and Cologne from 1972-78 and received the art award of the Anker Bank Cologne in 1992.
At the end of the 1970s, Volker Hildebrandt's work can be classified as conceptual art - dealing with space and time using the means of language. At the beginning of the 1980s, Hildebrandt turned increasingly to the electronic media of television, computer and screen text (BTX), later also video, in order to critically question the processes of image production typical of these devices in his art. The examination of the structure and mode of production of media images is an essential aspect of his art. The perception and reception of media icons from film, art, sports and politics also makes up a large part of his artistic work.
After the introduction of BTX in Germany in 1983, Hildebrandt was the first German artist to use the new medium to broadcast an immaterial exhibition of specially conceived artworks (Bildstörung - Hildebrandt, 1983; BTX Dance, 1983; Hotel Rasputin, 1989), thus making them accessible to many recipients simultaneously and regardless of location.
Volker Hildebrandt's oeuvre includes graphics, painting, video, multimedia, object and drawing.
