David Brooks ist unser Künstler in Residenz 2024

David Brooks‘ Arbeit untersucht, wie kulturelle Bedenken nicht vom natürlichen Umfeld getrennt werden können, und hinterfragt dabei die Bedingungen, unter denen Natur wahrgenommen und genutzt wird. Er hat bedeutende Projekte am Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Storm King, MoMA/PS1, Tang Museum, deCordova Museum, Nouveau Musée National de Monaco, Galerie für Landschaftskunst in Hamburg, Crystal Bridges und dem Sculpture Center durchgeführt. Im Jahr 2011 kreierte Brooks „Desert Rooftops“ am Times Square, ein Erdwerk, das von der Art Production Fund in Auftrag gegeben wurde; 2018 eine groß angelegte geologische Installation auf Governors Island. Er ist zudem Träger des Rom-Preises 2020.
