HANOVER.- Markus Schinwald (born 1973), whose complex on-site installations have most recently been on show at the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zurich (2008), the Kunsthaus Bregenz (2009) and the Kunsthalle Budapest (2009), is among the most distinguished Austrian artists of his generation.

Central features of Schinwald’s work are impressive formulations of the human body, showing it as a barely trustworthy, malleable and manipulable shell.
