Thomas Hirschhorn Biography
Thomas Hirschhorn is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on May 16, 1957 in Bern, Canton of Bern, Switzerland. Thomas Hirschhorn (born 16 May 1957 in Bern) is an Swiss artist from Switzerland. He is a resident of Paris.
Thomas Hirschhorn has dedicated works to philosophers, writers and artists that he admires and admires, through altars or monuments, kiosks, maps or sculptures. In 1999, he began the series of “monuments” dedicated to major writers and thinkers. They include for instance, the Spinoza Monument (Amsterdam, The Netherlands 1999) and was followed by Deleuze Monument (Avignon, France 2000) and Bataille Monument (Kassel, Germany 2002). It was the Gramsci Monument (The Bronx New York, 2013) was the fourth and final monument in honor of his fellow Italian philosopher and political Marxist Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937). The works were inspired by Hirschhorn’s desire “to define a definition of monuments,’ in order to trigger interactions, and to produce an experience. […] My affection of Antonio Gramsci is the love of philosophy and the love for the endless possibilities of thoughts. It’s about taking this into consideration by affirming it, defending it and giving it a form.”

Hirschhorn has created over seventy works in public space questioning the autonomy, the authorship and resistance of a work of art, asserting art as a tool that has the power to touch and transform the other. “I want to use art as a tool to establish a contact with the Other – this is a necessity – and I am convinced that the only possible contact with the Other happens “One to One”, as equal.” Through his experience of working in public space, Hirschhorn has developed his own guidelines of “Presence and Production” in being present and producing on location during the full course of a project in public space. “To be ‘present’ and to ‘produce’ means to make a physical statement, here and now. I believe that only through presence—my presence —and only through production —my production— can my work have an impact in public space or at a public location.” Other major ‘Presence and Production’ projects besides the Bataille-Monument and Gramsci-Monument include Musée Précaire Albinet (Aubervilliers, France, 2004), The Bijlmer Spinoza Festival (Amsterdam, 2009), Flamme éternelle (Palais de Tokyo, Paris, 2014), What I can learn from you. What you can learn from me (Critical Workshop) (Remai Modern, Saskatoon 2018), and the Robert Walser-Sculpture (Fondation Exposition Suisse de Sculpture, Biel, Switzerland, 2019).
Hirschhorn has been awarded the Prix for Junge Schweizer Kunst (1999), Marcel Duchamp Prize (2000), Rolandpreis fur Kunst im offentlichen Raum (2003), Joseph Beuys Prize (2004), Kurt Schwitters Prize (2011) and the Meret Oppenheim Prize (2018). In June of 2011, Hirschhorn represented Switzerland at the Venice Biennale.

He started developing work in space, using common materials such as cardboard, wood, foil, tape, among others. He has described his decision to use everyday materials as “political”: these materials “don’t intimidate, they are universal, economic, inclusive, and don’t bear any plus-value”. For his work Cavemanman (2002) he transformed the gallery space into a cave using wood, cardboard, tape, neon tubes, books. Hirschhorn has followed his early commitment to always include the Other and address what he calls the “non-exclusive audience” in presenting his work in exhibition spaces such as museums and galleries, but also in “public space”: urban settings, sidewalks, vacant lots, and communal grounds of public housing projects.
