Erwin Redl
was born in Gföhl, Austria in 1963. He moved to the US with the support of a
Fulbright scholarship in 1993. The artist lives in Bowling Green, Ohio and New
York City.
His work
is informed by a combination of conceptual-structural thinking and profound
craftsmanship both in electronic and traditional media. With an MFA in Computer
Art from School of Visuals Arts in New York and a BA in Music Composition from
the University of Vienna, Austria the artist is able to expand his practice
beyond the traditional Fine Art context.
The scale
of his installations very often reaches large, architectural dimensions. The
artist’s work was featured in the 2002 Whitney Biennial, covering the entire
Whitney Museum's façade in layers of LED grids. In 2017 his large-scale kinetic
light installation “Whiteout” was prominently showcased at Madison Square Park
in the heart of Manhattan. The artwork used hundreds of suspended white
spheres, each with a programmable white LED light to form a luminous white
carpet across the park's center lawn.
The
artist’s work is collected by prestigious national and international
institutions, among them the Whitney Museum of American Art New York, the
Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the Milwaukee Art Museum and Borusan
Contemporary Istanbul as well as by prominent private collectors.
