Dennis Lösch

Dennis Loesch dissolves images into strips of information. His methodical process can be seen as an extension of geometric minimalism with a strong appreciation for pop-culture appropriation. The conceptual focus of Loesch is the interplay between digital data and physical object-hood, both de- and re-contextualizing contents from intimate and public sources. From 2000 to 2005, Loesch co-directed with Michael Riedel Oskar-von-Miller Strasse 16, an experimental art space in Frankfurt that re-staged cultural events. Dennis Loesch was trained in Interdisciplinary Fine Arts at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main in 2001-2006. In 2010, he was awarded the prestigious Schindler Stipendium from the MAK Center for Arts and Architecture, in Vienna.
