Daniel von Sturmer: Focus & Field
Schwartz City 2014
Born in Auckland, New Zealand 1972
Lives and works in Melbourne
Daniel von Sturmer’s practice involves a range of media and approaches including video, photography and installation. His works orchestrate a field of relations between people and things, light and space, video and time, where the encounter between audience and artwork reveals a dialectical interplay of viewer and viewed. His approach is experimental, playfully testing expectations of quotidian occurrences and ordinary experience.
Recent exhibitions include: ‘Spacemakers and Roomshakers’, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney (2018); ‘Collective Visions: 130 Years’, Bendigo Art Gallery, Bendigo (2017); ‘Red Green Blue: A History of Australian Video Art, Griffith University, Queensland Collage of Art, Brisbane (2017); ‘Electric Light’, Anna Schwartz Gallery, Melbourne (2016); ‘Electric Light (facts/figures), Bus Projects, Melbourne (2017); ‘These Constructs’, Anna Schwartz Gallery, Melbourne (2014); ‘Camera Ready Actions’, Young Projects, Los Angeles (2014).
Von Sturmer represented Australia at the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007 and was the winner of the Melbourne Prize for Urban Sculpture in 2017.
Von Sturmer’s work is represented in Australian & international collections including: Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Melbourne; Monash University Museum of Art, Melbourne; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane; Gothenburg Museum of Art, Gothenburg; Auckland Art Gallery, Auckland; Chartwell Collection, Auckland and Dunedin Public Art Gallery, Dunedin.
