About Oliver Beer

 Oliver Beer is a visual artist and composer whose sculptures, paintings, installations, videos and immersive live performances reveal the hidden properties and innate musicality of objects, bodies and architectural spaces. Rooted in his background in both musical composition and visual art, Beer’s work draws on social and familial relationships to explore universal themes such as the transmission of musical heritage or the personal and cultural significance we assign to the objects we possess. 

Beer’s work has been exhibited in major institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and MoMA PS1 in New York; the Centre Pompidou, Musée d’Art Moderne, Palais de Tokyo, Château de Versailles, and Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris; the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Australia and MONA in Australia; and the West Bund Museum in Shanghai. He has also participated in the biennales of Sydney, Istanbul, Lyon, and Venice amongst others. 

Oliver studied musical composition at the Academy of Contemporary Music in London, Fine Art at the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford, and film theory at the Sorbonne in Paris.
