Born 1978, Switzerland. Lives and works in Bern, Switzerland.
The work of Manuel Burgener is marked by a subversive manipulation of the viewers’ perception. Burgener’s intricate craftsmanship of material and form allows an ironic distortion of expectation, often renegotiating perceived limits between art and design and process and result.
His recent solo shows include Untitled at Secret Space, Biel (2021); Daily Dose at Salon des Amateurs, Kunsthalle Düsseldorf (2020); Disbelief at Espace d'Art Contemporain, Porrentruy (2019); and Interlude at Bernheim, Zürich (2019).
