Biography
Wolfgang Weileder was born in Munich, Germany in 1965. Upon completing a degree at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich in the mid 90’s, he pursued his studies at the School of Visual Arts in New York. He moved to Newcastle upon Tyne, UK in 2000 where he currently works as the Professor in Contemporary Sculpture at Newcastle University.
Wolfgang Weileder’s recent work is primarily concerned with the exploration and critical deconstruction of architecture, public spaces and the interactions we have with the ubiquitous urban environment. Focusing on large-scale temporary site-specific architectural installation and sculpture in the urban environment his work also branches into performance, film, photography and sound installation.
