Biographical / Historical

Martin Beck (born 1963, Bludenz, Austria) is a visual artist, exhibition designer, writer and curator based in New York, Vienna, Austria, and Joshua Tree, California. Beck's work encompasses multiple mediums, and reflects the artist's deep research into various histories, including architecture, photography, design and the counterculture.

Beck's practice often investigates and deconstructs the semiotics of exhibition making and display, and blurs the boundaries between the conditions of the display of an artwork and the artwork itself. Beck works across many formats, such as installation, publication-making, photography, video and printmaking. "[Beck's] true medium," artist and critic Yuki Higashino writes in The Avery Review, "is exhibition making. It is the totality, the configuration of artifacts, the social context, the supplementary materials like a press release, and the architecture of the venue that together constitute the art exhibition and the work of art that Beck produces."

Beck also works collaboratively, and his projects often include artifacts and artworks attributed to other artists, architects and designers. Since the late 1990s, he has worked closely on numerous collaborative exhibition, publication and design projects with the artist Julie Ault.

Throughout his career, Beck has been the subject of several solo exhibitions, including "Information, Dokumentation, Legitimation" Hohenthal und Bergen Gallery, Cologne, Germany (1994); "Trade (Europe)," Contemporary Art Center, Moscow (1995); "storage (displayed)," spot, New York (1997); "an Exhibit viewed played populated," Grazer Kunstverein, Graz, Austria (2003); "The details are not the details," Orchard Gallery, New York (2007); "Panel 2-'Nothing better than a touch of ecology and catastrophe to unite the social classes...," Gasworks, London (2008); "Last Night," Kunsthaus Glarus, Glarus, Switzerland (2013); "rumors and murmurs," Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien, Vienna, Austria (2017); and "dans un second temps," Frac Lorraine, Metz, France (2018.) In 2014, Beck was commissioned to develop a project to coincide with the rebranding for the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University. This commission resulted in a two-year exhibition, titled "Program," that consisted of ten episodic interventions, each addressing one of the institution's channels of communication, and culminating in a publication.

Additionally, Beck and Ault have collaborated on exhibitions including "Outdoor Systems, indoor distribution," Neue Gesellschaft für Bildende Kunst, Berlin (2000), and "Installation," Secession, Vienna, Austria (2006.) Beck and Ault have also worked collaboratively on curatorial projects, including "Tell It To My Heart: Collected by Julie Ault," (with Nicola Dietrich, Heinz Peter Knes, Jason Simon, Danh Vō, and Scott Cameron Weaver,) which traveled to the Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Basel, Switzerland, Culturgest in Lisbon, Portugal, and Artists Space in New York (2013), and "Down the Rabbit Hole: JB in JT," online at O-Townhouse (2020.)

Beck has participated in numerous group exhibitions, both as a solo artist and in collaboration with Julie Ault. These include the 10th Shanghai Biennale (2014–15); "The Whole Earth: California and the Disappearance of the Outside," Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin (2013); the 29th São Paulo Bienal (2010); and the 4th Bucharest Biennale (2010).

Between 2000 and 2014, Beck designed several exhibitions for art institutions, largely in collaboration with Ault. Venues for which Beck and Ault designed exhibitions include the International Center of Photography in New York; Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig, Vienna, Austria; Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne, Germany; Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal, Canada and the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. In 2011, in collaboration with the artist Ken Saylor, Beck designed the gallery architecture of Ludlow 38 in New York.

Beck's oeuvre is indicative of the artist's interest and commitment to an exploration of publishing practices. Artists' publications produced for exhibitions by Beck often play an integral role in the staging and experience of his exhibitions, and may serve as iterations of a project in and of themselves. Beck is represented by 47 Canal gallery in New York.

Martin Beck studied at the University of Applied Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts, in Vienna, Austria. Beck has been affiliated with several universities as an instructor, visiting artist and professor, including California Institute of the Arts, Valencia, California (1999–2000); École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Geneva, Switzerland (2001–2005), and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (2004-)
