Andreas Greiner

Andreas Greiner (b. Aachen, Germany, 1979) is a Berlin-based ecological artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans time-based works, living and digital sculptures, photography, and video art.

In much of his work, he explores the intersection of biology, technology, and the natural world, with special attention to non-human forms of subjectivity and climate change. Greiner's art has been showcased internationally at the Yokohama Triennale (2020), Vienna Biennale for Change (2021), and the Geneva Biennial for Art and Urban Nature (2023). He was awarded the 34th Kaiserring Scholarship at the Mönchehaus Museum in Goslar in 2019 and has exhibited at institutions like the Berlinische Galerie, Kunsthalle Mannheim, Hamburger Kunsthalle, and Centre Pompidou. Since 2022, Greiner is Professor of Media Art at Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel. After studying medicine and anatomy, he transitioned to art at the Institute for Spatial Experiments (then led by Olafur Eliason). Greiner is also a co-founder of art4biodiversity, a non-profit organization promoting and supporting artistic initiatives for ecological action.
