Jörg Schlick was an Austrian artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museum of Modern Art. Jörg Schlick was born in Graz.
Jörg Schlick (1951 – 29 December 2005) was an Austrian conceptual artist, writer, painter, musician and curator. Based in Graz, he worked across painting, drawing, photography, performance art, film, video art, stage design, music and text. He was a founding figure of the artists' association Lord Jim Lodge, edited its magazine Sonne Busen Hammer, and repeatedly incorporated the group's signet and motto Keiner hilft keinem into his work.
Critics and institutions have discussed Schlick's work in relation to appropriation, seriality, humour, institutional critique, branding and artist mythology. Later critical and institutional accounts have emphasised that his public image as a provocateur sometimes obscured the formal and conceptual range of his work.
