Thomas Hirschhorn

Thomas Hirschhorn serves as a Guest Professor for Fine Arts at the Städelschule Academy of Fine Arts during Summer Semester 2025, contributing to the institution's distinguished visual arts faculty within the School of Fine Arts.

His research focuses on radical artistic interventions through:

• Large-scale non-durable installations using everyday materials
• Political and philosophical engagement in public spaces
• Democratization of art access beyond traditional institutions
• Critical theory applications in contemporary practice
• Temporary monument constructions addressing social crises
• Material experimentation with cardboard, duct tape, and found objects

This appointment continues his decades-long influence on global contemporary art discourse through pedagogical practice.
