| Your Personal Biography |
Maris Grosbahs is an artist and researcher born in Latvia. He holds a BA from Art Academy of Latvia and an MFA in Spatial arts of the California State University. After graduating from the MFA he worked as an artist, curator, stage designer and part-time lecturer at Art Academy of Latvia.
Currently he lives and works in Riga /Latvia/ and Geneva /Switzerland/.
He has exhibited locally and internationally since 1993 in Europe and America. Grosbahs work is multi-disciplinary, ranging across sculpture, installation and sound. Grosbahs challenges personal identity, forcing both a physical and intellectual engagement with the work. Formally trained in sculpture, he has continued to build and expand his practice over the last two years to include sculpted sound.
In 1997 he established International Art Laboratory ROJARAKU, an annual artist residency. It is an artist-run, non-profit-making initiative unique in the Latvia that provides a creative arena for artists who are ambitious for their work and open to the challenges of an environment that demands experiment, co-operation and exchange.
He has been granted with several stipends, awards and has been a Visiting Artist at numerous Universities and Colleges.
