Biography
Oliver Kunkel defines himself as a sculptor, but isn´t restricted on a certain medium.
By his conceptual work he develops objects, installations, videos and prints using different techniques and materials.
Since 2001 main themes of his work are: Science / Entertainment / Environments and Space / Creation of myths / Biology and Bionics / Behaviour / Dissemination of information (e.g. by news through every channel).
In this manner Kunkel creates works that are contently complex and spread out in a real as well as virtual space. So their viewers should ask questions and find answers at the same time.
Oliver Kunkel was a student at the Media Art School, Cologne, at Marcel Odenbach, Peter Zimmermann and at the Art Academy Düsseldorf in the class of Rosemarie Trockel.
