Warren Neidich

Warren Neidich is a conceptual artist based in Berlin and Los Angeles. He currently works with video and neon to create conceptual text-based art that explores the intersection of art, science, and social justice. His neon sculpture “Pizzagate Neon” was displayed at the 2019 Venice Biennial. Prior to dedicating himself to his art full-time, Neidich went to medical school and became an ophthalmologist. His background in medicine and neuroscience are direct sources of inspiration for his art and in 1996, he founded artbrain.org and the Journal of Neuroaesthetics. His recent work on Activist Neuroaesthetics has been reviewed in Artforum. He is a recipient of the Vilem Flusser Theory Award, Transmediale, AHRB/ACE Arts and Science Research Fellowship, Bristol, and a Fulbright Scholarship. He is also the founder and director of the Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art, a theory-intensive postgraduate course in Los Angeles, New York City, and Berlin.
