VISUAL CHEMISTRY - HOME

I'm an artist researcher working in the context of the natural sciences as well as in the context of the visual arts. This website presents some of my research related to materials.

My art work is presented on: www.ankezuern.com

LABOR FÜR STRUKTUR UND FARBE - BIEL/BIENNE

     
Labor für Struktur und Farbe     The "Labor für Struktur und Farbe" (structure and color lab) is my new research lab, situated in the General-Dufourstrasse in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. It is designed as a continuously operating art-research-installation.

The "Labor für Struktur und Farbe" will start operating in spring 2013.
