Gerold Miller

Gerold Miller born 1961 lives and works in Berlin, Germany. From 1984 to 1989 received a degree in sculptur at Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart.

Gerold Miller addresses questions on representativeness in the limits of sculpture, three-dimensional objects, defined wall areas and sculptural-pictorial defined space as an image carrier. His wall-objects cannot clearly be related to traditional genres as they oscillate between characteristics of the picture, the relief, the sculpture and architecture. They formulate a new term of representativeness, which disregards conventional definitions and primarily understands the complex of a picture as space.

The representativeness of Gerold Miller’s total objects and instant visions operate on a high level of abstraction whilst inviting the viewer to interact, too. The viewer gains a possibility to take part in a creative moment as well the responsibility. This performative aspect stands in conflict to the conventional theories of the image. The works oscillate between object and image, abstraction and reality, minimal and pop. Through the simultaneity of different layers, they achieve an absolute presence.
