John Bock (*1965) is a sculptor, filmmaker, action artist, author and maker of drawings, best known for his theatrical cosmos of genre-bending performances and installations. His works often converge in sprawling experimental setups that confound the senses. The Berlin-based artist’s material excesses, shock effects, soundscapes and systematic semantic irritations have been described as a “manic world theater” that explores the dark sides of the psyche and radically flaunts the breakdown of social and psychological taboos.

Group Exhibition
Kunstmuseum Bonn
Through December 31, 2024
On the 30th anniversary of its presence along the Museum Mile, the Kunstmuseum Bonn is offering a comprehensive view of its collection of contemporary art, which is being freshly presented from new perspectives in twenty rooms. Even if the presentation shows the Kunstmuseum to be a special site for painting, fundamental roles in the argumentation are nonetheless played by installation, film and photography.
