Biography
The work of Oliver Laric converts qualities of the digital age, such as reproduction, limitless variability and instant distribution, into the physical realm. His 3D scanned sculptures challenge our understanding of art and conventional modes of arts institutionalisation, this including the complex legal ambiguities of copyright and rights of use. His effort to make art that is traditionally locked in the museum space, accessible to an increasingly digital society, regardless of social, geographical or cultural boundaries, on one hand, challenges traditional modes of art institutionalism, while on the other, democratises art by stripping it of the constrains of private ownership. The anthropomorphic nature, characteristic of Laric’s work is then suggestive of a broader interest in the hybridisation of matter and life, as depicted within the present digital age.
Oliver Laric has exhibited his work at SMAK (Grent), Museum of contemporary Art Cleveland, Guggenheim (Bilbao, Spain), São Paulo Biennale, ICA Boston, Centre Pompidou (Paris), Whitechapel Gallery (London), ExtraCity Kunsthalle (Antwerp), Kunstlerhouse Benthanien (Berlin), Palays de Tokyo (Paris), Saint Louis Art Museum (St. Louis, Missouri), among other.
