Jochem Hendricks (b. 1959) graduated from Staedelschule, Frankfurt/Main in 1985 and currently lives and works there as well. His neo-conceptual artwork is based on a strong interest in artistic strategies. Hendricks’ practice explores the social and economical codes and boundaries that we live by, as well as questioning received ideas surrounding beauty and value. His projects often involve investigative processes more normally associated with scientific enquiry, questioning the boundaries of legality and using materials that raise complex moral and ethical issues. His works also raise questions about the value and meaning of labour, as well as notions of truth and imagination. Jochem Hendricks has been extensively collected and exhibited at many international major museums and art institutes.
