Biography (179 words)

Melbourne-based artist Daniel von Sturmer was born in 1972 in Auckland, New Zealand. Von Sturmer started out as a painter, later working mainly as a video and mixed media installation artist. His video installations and architectural interventions confound the viewer’s sense of space, scale and orientation. Using everyday objects the artist creates visual experiments, playing with gravity and weightlessness, movement and stillness.

The artist studied Honours in fine art at RMIT University in Melbourne in during 1993-96 and finished his Master of Arts (research) in 1999 at the same university. Later he spent one year at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam.

Von Sturmer has exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions both nationally and internationally, and his work is included in major gallery collections in Australia such as the Museum of Contemporary Art, Queensland Art Gallery, Bendigo Art Gallery, Art Gallery of South Australia, Newcastle Regional Art Gallery, The Michael Buxton Contemporary Australian Art Collection and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. His work is also included in Chartwell Collection and Dunedin Public Art Gallery in New Zealand.
