Biography
1976 born in Berlin, Germany. He lives and works in Berlin.
Markus Butkereit is an artist presenting in museums and other institutions in over ten countries. His broad range of activities centralise in the presentation of large-scale multimedia installations and activities based on a spectra of operations spanning art and society. Based on changing structures from within, there are layered revolving structures which wreck the environment as first noted; and ultimately, demanding more from the space in which they are presented. Butkereit is known for detailed and precise finesse that results in chaos. He builds accessible discussions between people by using fundamental laws appearing in physics, society and spititualism by resting the installations on a foundation of absolute and objective reality. Informed and knowledgeable, Butkereit unapologetically disrupts and resolves questions related to knowledge and speculation; chance and determinism; order and chaos.
