Christian Philipp Müller
Christian Philipp Müller (born in 1957) engages with questions of the art context, the specificities of a site, and the medium of the exhibition in and of itself. His installations are based on artistic research that links the most varied facts and things to one another and engages with existing social, economic, and cultural relationships. With his decidedly pointed works, he has been counted since the mid-1980s as one of the most important representatives of institutional critique. Christian Philipp Müller sees the task of the artist in exploring action spaces and limits of social action in site-specific projects and by filtering facts and fictions deepening our understanding of a given situation.
Christian Philipp Müller has not only participated in numerous international exhibitions, such as at the Austrian Pavilion at the Venice Biennial (1993) and Documenta X, but also participated as organizer and curator in important projects. His work was honored with a retrospective in 2007 at Museum für Gegenwartksunst in Basel.
