Multidisciplinary artist Michael Stevenson was born in 1964 in Inglewood, Aotearoa New Zealand, and studied at Auckland’s Elam School of Fine Arts, graduating in 1986. While living in Melbourne, he was granted the Greene Street studio residency by the Australia Council. Since 2000, he has lived and worked in Berlin.
In 2002, Stevenson was awarded the New Zealand residency program at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, and featured in the Sydney Biennale. The following year, he was selected to represent New Zealand at the 50th Venice Biennale. Since 2011, Stevenson has undertaken a full-time teaching professorship at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Nürnberg.1
A methodical researcher and passionate archivist, Stevenson brilliantly crafts works that probe cultural conditions and attitudes. His interests lie in uncovering obscure moments in history, particularly those related to the art world.
