Harald Smykla

Harald Smykla is a German-born, London-based cross-disciplinary artist. He studied painting and printmaking at the Karlsruhe Academy of Fine Art (1981-86). Pictorial notions still inform the ephemeral, site-, time-, context-specific and frequently collaborative live art practice he has pursued since the late nineties. He has exhibited and performed across the UK and Europe.

Intermittently, Smykla undertakes performative investigations for his "Centre for Research into Emotional Hygiene through Art (C.R.E.H.A.)", creates live cardiography in "Ticker" works, collaborates with non-human life forms, re-maps localities, remixes history, and rejuvenates overhead projection in his work with the international troupe "Psychological Art Circus" and in "Reprojections" interfering with perceived reality.
