Bogomir Ecker

Bogomir Ecker (*1950 in Maribor, SI) followed his training as a typesetter by studying at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe, then at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. At the HfBK Academy of Fine Arts Hamburg he held a chair for sculpture. From 2002 until his retirement in 2016, he was professor at the Braunschweig University of Art. The point of departure for his artistic explorations are social motors such as communication and technology; in particular, seeing and hearing as forms of sensorial perception play a major role. Bogomir Ecker was invited in 1987 to show work at documenta 8 in Kassel and is represented in numerous collections.
