About the Artist:
Mike Bourscheid’s sculpture and performance-based practice involves the fabrication of ungainly or ridiculous appendages and prosthetics, in order to channel alternate personae as a device for addressing aspects of masculinity, European pomposity, and patriarchal power. Bourscheid represented Luxembourg at the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017, and his recent exhibitions include Kunstverein Heidelberg (Germany), LIAR NYC (USA), and Kunstpalais Erlangen (Germany). Recent projects include a performance for Push Festival at Western Front (Idealverein, 2020, Vancouver) as well as a commissioned performance by the Vancouver Art Gallery for their Offsite location (Ledgers, 2019, Vancouver). Mike Bourscheid has an upcoming solo exhibition at 1646 (The Hague, Netherlands). He is based in Luxembourg and Vancouver.
