Yves Netzhammer, born in 1970, studied Visual Design at the Zurich College of Art and Design. Since 1997, he has been working on a widely ramified, poetic imagery cosmos. His video installations, objects, slide shows and drawings fascinate through their bodily charisma and their formalclarity. The playful recombination of elements which seemingly can not be combined leads to the threshold of our existence’s dark side: Dulcet aspects interlock with displeasing ones, the dead melts with the alive into creatures never seen before, and the depicted scenarios run from microscopic to giant-scales.

Solo exhibitions include Kunstmuseum Bern (2011), Liverpool Biennial (2010), SFMOMA(2009), San Francisco (2008), Venice Biennale (2007), Karlskirche Kassel (supporting program documenta 12, 2007), Museum Rietberg, Zürich (2006), Kunsthalle Bremen (2005) and Helmhaus Zürich (2003). Group exhibitions include Chelsea Art Museum, New York (2008), Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg (2007), Witte de With and TENT, Rotterdam (2006), Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum, Duisburg (2006) and National Gallery Prague (2005). Among others, he was awarded the Swiss Art Award in 2006, the Landis & Gyr-Grant for London in 2005 and a studio scholarship from the city of Zurich for New York in 2001. Yves Netzhammer lives and works in Zurich.
