Biography


It was in the middle of the 1970s, when the Austrian artist FERRO (*1953, Cologne) studied at the Fachhochschule für Kunst und Design in Cologne, that Joseph Beuys founded the „Freie Universität“ in the nearby Düsseldorf. At the same time he proclaimed a new extended concept of art which seemed then to dominate the zeitgeist of the 1970s: art should be open to all people independent of their background and social status. By questioning the actual state of the art scene and criticizing the existing norms of institutions, such as galleries and museums, the art world was stirred up.

FERRO, who refers with his artist name already on his preferred medium, found his way together with his brother and a fellow student into the art world by founding „JET FERRO“, a performance group but also a punk band. By doing so, the artist began to work in a format that from now on should accompany him for quite a while: the collective.

The interventions of Jet Ferro, which were connected to the tradition of Fluxus, were shown at the Art Basel as well as at the Documenta 6. FERRO, who understands art as an entanglement and overlapping of different fields, reunions various medial approaches and was active in many roles: as a musician, as an actor and performer, as a driving force or as a creator of the requisites for his theater productions. Fluxus, dance, punk and the circus were brought together within performances and shaped the early artistic career of FERRO. Through the connection of different fields the artist gained inspiration that led to a complexity in FERROs ouvre, which reflects today a wide repertoire of artistic approaches and concepts.

In 1980 FERRO moves to Basel and afterwards to Zürich. Together with the dancer Yvonne Vogel he established „Bumper To Bumper“ an experimental theater and performance collective. For more than ten years of being active as a director and performer the collective toured around Europe. At home, his studio functioned as a creative lab. Here ideas for performances and plays were born and conceptualized and a general understanding of the art scene, that seemed to suffer from being narrowed down and petrified, was debated and discussed. For FERRO critique and persiflage of existing standards was not only essential but highly appreciated. After a three year residence in New York in the early 90s Ferro returned in 1995 to Cologne and focussed on his artistic solo career. Since 2006 he works and lives in Munich.
