Gabriel Kuri

Prof. Gabriel Kuri is a faculty member at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich (AdBK München), where he leads a class in Sculpture within the Faculty of Fine Arts. Appointed in the winter semester of 2024/25, he guides students in exploring sculpture as an open, critical practice that engages with the tangible world through making and form.

The class emphasizes thinking through making, using hands, tools, and material processes as instruments of reason. Prof. Kuri encourages students to move dynamically between studio practice and public space, ensuring their work remains relevant to real-world contexts. The pedagogy integrates debates from art theory and art history that emerge organically from studio work, fostering a deep, experiential understanding of artistic practice.

His approach positions sculpture not only as an artistic discipline but as a lifelong method for engaging with the complexities of reality. Students are encouraged to question conventions, explore diverse materials, and critically assess how their work interacts with society and history.

There are currently no publications, awards, or student names listed in the available information. However, the class actively promotes inquiry, reflection, and public dialogue as core components of sculptural practice.
