Kendell Geers

Artist biography:

Born in Johannesburg in 1968

He lives and works in Brussels.

Kendell Geers works in video, photography, performance, and sculpture. He is also referred to as a conceptual/political artist and has participated in the Venice and Johannesburg Biennales.

His work pushes the limits of accepted moral codes and principles in order to collapse them and start again. Geers questions the psychology of things you cannot control, things beyond the gallery space that art cannot touch, from extreme phenomena to emotional states. Employing a strategy of disruption, using weapons of sexuality, violence and fear, his work is where language and value systems become physical.
