Goswin Schwendinger
Biography
Goswin Schwendinger is an Austrian artist living and working in London. He studied from 2018 to 2020 on the MFA program at Goldsmiths, University of London. He also received an MSc in Architecture from the ETH Zurich, Switzerland. In 2017 he was nominated for the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Awards for Visual Arts.
Goswin’s artistic practice unfolds at the intersection of science, perception and the limits of knowledge. In this ambiguos territory, questions of plausibility and meaning arise only to slip from conclusive grasp. Rather than supply answers, Goswin invites us into a world where understanding may be felt, sensed, or intuited, always just beyond the bounds of language.
This liminal zone, suspended between clarity and ambiguity, forms the essential ground for navigating our contemporary condition. Within it, Goswin dissolves fixed borders and pursues the quiet possibility of turning separtation into intrinsic connection. His outlook remains resolutely hopeful, yet grounded. It is a vision that underpins a body of work deeply concerned with structures of power and systems of control. Through immersive installations and reflective environments, Goswin creates safe spaces in which viewers can question, reframe, and reimagine both personal and collective narratives.
His material language often explores the friction between the analog and digital realms, and spans sculpture, installation, sound, video, and performance.
