Florian Model

Born in Überlingen/Germany in 1991.

Florian Model is an artist, curator and cultural producer based in Stuttgart/Germany, graduating from the Stuttgart State Academy of Art & Design in 2017 with a diploma in Fine Arts. His work focuses on emergent behavior and the double bind between the individual and society. Through the notion of play, he simulates complex systems using AI and social experiments, drawing on sociology, economy, and technology in the process.

His work has been shown in exhibitions including the route of friendship runs into a big beautiful wall at Ladrón Gallery Mexico City/Mexico (2018), Projects for coming communities at OnCurating Project Space Zurich/Switzerland (2019), New Materiality at House Conspiracy, Brisbane/Australia (2019) and Leisure & Play at the Center for Innovative Media Rijeka/Croatia (2021).

Recent fellowships include a stipend from the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg at Cité International des Arts in Paris/France (2019) and within the program Generation A = Algorithm at the Goethe Institute in Rijeka (2021).

His work occurs at the interface of curating and artistic practice, his activities including the co-direction of the non-profit art association Anorak e.V. with Johanna Markert and Lukas Ludwig.

Florian Model is fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude from November 2021 until March 2022 within the framework of Under Utopia, a collaborative project with Akademie Schloss Solitude and the artist duo Maren Geers und Thomas Drescher.
