Greyfields - series, Roy Andres Hofer - T.O.E. Art Market

Roy Andres Hofer Media images are with us everywhere, being both integral facets and isolated reflections of today’s globalized world. This paradox is the essence of the Royglobalized series, which focuses on those processes and structures of worldwide marketing, media and politics that both shape and confuse our modern environment and our individual selves. “Roy” challenges us not so much by the artist’s own presence, but rather as a compelling individual experience and feeling of personal consternation over the trends of globalization. Roy Andres Hofer shows these complicated mechanisms in a sometimes documentary, sometimes fictional way through ordinary, everyday glimpses of our world which force us to question ourselves and our own social assumptions. 1976 Born in Basel, works and lives in Rheinfelden AG 1994 Swiss certificate Master of Lithography 1997 School for arts Basel 2000 High School for arts Zürich 1999 Residency in Santa Barbara, USA / 2000 Field study in Tokyo, Japan 2012 Organizer CAMPBASEL during Art Basel 2013 Organizer ONEsize Artshow during Art Basel 2012 Founder ARTspaceSWITZERLAND offspace for contemporary art 2014 Co-Founder Circle for artists International artists network 2015 Founder a-space (artist-run-gallery) 2016 Co-Curator „into the deep woods“ exhibition series with PAPER gallery Manchester 2017 Organizer CAMPBASELrevisited during Art Basel 2017 Co-Founder „miniature of nature_series 2018 Member of the Kunstraum Waldhaus Zürich 2019 Co-Founder „miniature of nature_series 2020 Currently lives in Tokyo (project based working)
