Martin Rendel

Martin Rendel (born 1968 in Limburg an der Lahn) is a German cultural manager and university professor.

His final work, a water-closet, attracted a great deal of media interest after AP photographer Karsten Thielker became aware of the project during a private stay in Darmstadt in 1992 and had the photos distributed via Associated Press.

[2] As winner of an international design competition, Rendel was invited to France after his studies on a Moulinex scholarship, which led to an encounter with the architect Isabelle Galzin.

They collaborated with Federico Restrepo and clients such as Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci Parfum, Fred Joaillier and others.

From 1996 to 1999, Rendel was also involved as Art Director in an art project on rails initiated by the Italian sculptor Gianpaolo d'Andrea Moravecchia and the Amsterdam artists' association "Stichting de Blinde Schilders", which took a train as a rolling exhibition through Europe (Denmark, Greece, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Austria, Poland and Holland).
