EPISODE 99 | CLAUS FOETTINGER | ARTIST | DÜSSELDORF
Recorded in March 2025 during his solo exhibition at VAN HORN, this thought-and insightful conversation reflects on art, life, memories and times changing. It serves as recap of the past year as well as glimpse of what’s to come next.

 

 

In this new, German-language episode of „Voices On Art“, Düsseldorf based artist Claus Föttinger shares rare insights into his unique way of thinking and working.
Known for his „social sculptures“- functional artworks such as lamps, tables, chairs, and bars, Claus speaks about his artistic language, deeply rooted in craft, research, and his worldwide travels.

We discuss:

• His childhood in Nuremberg
• His studies at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf
• His perspective on time, memory, and the future
• Why he stepped away from responding directly to current world events in his work
