Alexander Laner was born in 1974 and lives and works in Munich. The artist has received multiple prizes and funding in his home country, like the Förderpreis of Munich and the Bayerischer Kunstförderpreis. Laner’s works include a variety of site-specific artworks in the public space. With these impressive and significant works, using a lot of humor and actuality, he transforms an existing object into something completely new – like a carwash temporarily turned into the gate to hell, or the inside of a pedestal of a monumental statue completely converted into a fully decorated apartment.
