Matthias Neumann

Matthias Neumann was educated as an architect in Germany and moved to New York City in 2000. His work has since fluctuated between architecture and a wide range of artistic practice surrounding the discipline of architecture. Built and published work include his finalist proposal for the World Trade Center Memorial in New York (2003), various built projects in New York City, the temporary exhibition structure for the Spier Biennial for Contemporary Art South African Art (2007), and Hendershot Gallery, NY (2010), among others. Over the past years his focus has expanded from architecture to include museum- and gallery-based work, as well as a compounding interest in social and landscape aspects of the built environment and participatory interaction.
