Gregor HILDEBRANDT was born in Bad Homburg, Germany, in 1974. He currently lives and works in Berlin. He is most known for his work in the medium of cassette tape and vinyl, working to create minimalist yet deeply romantic paintings, sculptures, and installations. Though much of his work is still, silent, there is a kinetic and sonic depth: all of his works contain prerecorded materials – songs or films – on the base material (the tape/vinyl). In 2018, Gregor HILDEBRANDT created together with his partner, the artist Alicja Kwade, the label Grzegorzki Records.
Working with THE SKATEROOM, Gregor has created a collection of limited edition and unique art pieces, with a portion of revenue going towards Berlin-based, internationally operating social skate NGO, Skateistan. The collection, released in tandem with Gregor HILDEBRANDT’s Kunsthalle Praha exhibition in Czech Republic, comprises 10 unique artworks, each named after a song (recorded onto the tape used in the creation of the respective artworks) and two limited editions: Barta Board and Barta Board Black. The first of these is released in a run of 100 editions, the second in a run of 25 hand-signed editions. Both are in the form of solos.
