About the exhibition
Carsten Nicolai, a German artist, musician and producer, was born in 1965 in Karl-Marx-Stadt in former East Germany. A leading figure in the artistic world of Berlin in the 1990s, Nicolai is internationally renowned for his installations and performances, which explore the links and interactions between vision, sound, architecture, science and technology. Unidisplay epitomises the most important themes that run through Nicolai’s work, including the ability to give visual form to sound, the translation of minimal aesthetics into a monotonal use of colour (variations on black and white) and of sound, and a tendency towards abstraction and towards the infinite.
