Gregor Hildebrandt

[2] For sculptures, he shapes vinyl records into bowls, sometimes stacking them to create what the artist calls a “sonic wall made of pillars of records.”[3] Hildebrandt started thinking about incorporating audio into his practice during his time at the University of the Arts in Berlin.

In the late 1990s, the artist recorded 'Falschgeld' by German experimental group Einstürzende Neubauten before cutting the magnetic tape out and pasting it into his sketchbook.

The 2021 large-scale installation Hirnholzparkett (2015), shown at G2 Kunsthalle in Leipzig, incorporated 35,000 audiocassette tapes into record-sized reels, cast into epoxy resin and layered across the floor.

[4] Although Hildebrandt's work makes formal reference to Minimalism, the addition of a great number of subjective and autobiographical citations actually deliberately repudiates this strategy.

[8] In 2021, Hildebradt was the first guest curator for TheArtists, an online sales platform for unrepresented artists; he picked from his own students at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich.
