Veit Laurent Kurz, a German visual artist based in Berlin, is known for his continued development of a fictional biosphere in his sculptural works and installations. Kurz pays particular attention to the creative spontaneity associated with childhood and adolescence, where the imagination is, so to speak, altered by the imprint of major social and cultural influences. His work has been exhibited internationally in galleries and museums including the Kestnergesellschaft and Bonner Kunstverein in Germany, Miguel Abreu Gallery, the Highline New York City, US, and Le Magasin France. Kurz regularly teaches at the Stanford University Berlin, the Royal Danish Art Academy, Copenhagen and the Art Academy of Mainz Germany. Kurz is represented by Weiss Falke Gallery, Zurich, and Isabella Bortolozzi Gallery, Berlin.
