About

Why this artist matters now

Alfred Schieske was a West German performance artist working in Berlin during the post-war avant-garde of the 1950s and 1960s. His practice emerged amid the reconstruction and cultural reassessment of divided Germany, positioning performance as a direct intervention in public space rather than object-making. Little comprehensive documentation of his work survives, and Schieske remains a peripheral figure in histories of European performance art.
