Michael Schwab
Michael Schwab (b. 1966) is a London-based German artist and researcher, who has had exhibitions both in the UK and abroad. Originally a photographer, his work breaches narrow definitions of media as he focuses on post-conceptual uses of technology. Apart from photography, he employs drawing, installation art, painting and printmaking to produce his work that is often conceptually developed on the computer.
He studied philosophy at the University of Hamburg from where he received the equivalent of a Masters degree for his work on modern continental philosophy and the crisis of metaphysics. Later, he completed an MA in Photography at the London College of Printing. Most recently, he has been awarded a PhD in Fine Art from the Royal College of Art for the research project 'Image Automation: Post-Conceptual Post-Photography and the Deconstruction of the Photographic Image.'
