Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Kendell Geers lives and works in Brussels. Informed by his conflicted position as an anti-Apartheid militant of colonial descent, Geers’ often provocative work investigates the social, political and economical ramifications of various power struggles, raising a series of urgent questions around ideology, oppression, elitism and violence. Working across a broad range of media, including performance, installation and photography, Geers’ sometimes confrontational pieces respond to contemporary society’s brutal policing mechanisms, challenging viewers to reflect upon their own involvement in current events. Indebted to Conceptual Art, Geers’ work also targets artistic institutions, often using profanity, irreverence and humor to criticize its hierarchical structures.
Kendell Geers is represented by Stephen Friedman Gallery, London, Galerie Rodolphe Janssen, Brussels, Galleria Continua, San Gimignano, Bejing and Le Moulin and Goodman Gallery, Johannesburg.
