‘Markus Vater was born in Düsseldorf am Rhein in 1970. His father worked as a social worker, travel agent, hostel owner and psychotherapist. He grew up in Düsseldorf and from the age of six in the Eifel: Highlands with volcanic origins that stretch from south of Cologne to the river Mosel. The Eifel is rich in forests and grazing animals. Vater grew up with horses, cats and wild pigs, and was frequently visited by deer. During his childhood, he observed his father giving seminars on communication and group dynamics after the models and theories of Friedemann Schulz von Thun and Paul Wazlawick; something that would later influence his work.
He has been a visiting tutor at institutions including Goldsmiths’ College, University of London, the Kunsthochschule Kassel, Chelsea College of Art & Design and the RCA. In 2014, he was appointed Guest professor at the HFBK in Hamburg. He has been a tutor in Fine Art at the Royal College of Art from 2014-2016. Afterwards he had been appointed Guest professor at the AdBK Karlsruhe from 2016 to 2019. Markus Vater lives and works in London and is currently teaching as Visiting Lecturerer at the the Royal College of Art in London. He is represented by Rupert Pfab Gallery in Düsseldorf and Galerie Peter Zimmermann in Mannheim.’
