Benedikt Terwiel

Benedikt Terwiel (Germany) studied at the Berlin University of the Arts. Interested in ‘landscapes’ of everyday surroundings, he asks with what cultural-historical narratives they are associated and how they can be reflected upon in his works. As an important reference point for this work, Terwiel undertook a series of walks, including from Lourdes to Santiago (2007), Bonn to Basel (2009), Florence to Rome (2010) and – with support of the Stiftung Kunstfonds – from Berlin to Rotterdam (2011). He has received scholarships from the Stiftung Kunstfonds and the Berlin Senate, and has exhibited at the Neue Gesellschaft für Bildende Kunst (nGbK), Berlin; Skulpturenpark Cologne, Kunsthalle Bielefeld; and Museum unter Tage (MuT) in Bochum.
