Gregor Schneider
Welcome
Haus Esters

OPEN HOUSE: Sun, May 4, 11.30 am

The artist is present.

Gregor Schneider (born 1969 in Rheydt, today Mönchengladbach) is developing a new site-specific work for Haus Esters - parallel to the exhibition Partly Furnished, Excellent View. Schneider is one of the internationally renowned artists. His best-known work is Haus u r in Mönchengladbach-Rheydt. Since 1985, he has been meticulously building complete rooms within rooms in this house - an approximation of real space, as he himself describes his working method. Over the decades, Schneider has tried to build up an encyclopaedia of rooms with his stored collection of rooms. His Totes Haus u r was awarded the Golden Lion at the 2001 Venice Biennale. In 2023, Schneider was awarded the Ernst Franz Vogelmann Prize for his significant contribution to recent sculpture history and his life's work. In Krefeld, he is one of the few artists to have engaged with the location more than once. Gregor Schneider had his first museum exhibition at Haus Lange back in 1994, and in 2000 he explored the garden house at Haus Esters. To mark 70 years of Haus Lange, the artist is completing his exploration of the site on Wilhelmshofallee with a new site-specific work in Haus Esters. In this extraordinary project, Gregor Schneider explores the interface between art and life practice.
