Markus Klammer is an editor, art critic, and curator of numerous exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, with publications and texts on Heinz Gappmayr, Remy Zaugg, Gerhard Merz, Michele Bernardi, Hugo Vallazza (selection). Hatje Cantz published his monograph on Gianpietro Carlesso in 2014. Markus Klammer lives and works in Bolzano (Italy). Walter Moroder (born 1963) comes from a renowned family of sculptors in Val Gardena (Italy). During his training, he went through all the stages of the region's craft and artistic tradition, only to leave them behind after studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich (graduating in 1988) and making a decisive decision about his future direction. His sculptural exploration of the forms of the human body confirms his affinity for classical sculpture, but in conjunction with a decidedly postmodern visual thinking that goes beyond figurative, abstract, or neo-expressive conventions.
