Jay Rechsteiner is a story-teller, whose process-based work sits at the intersection of different practices. Varied objects, found materials, detritus, video & audio footage, are all painstakingly collected and catalogued during his research and travels. These in turn are woven into stories, stories that are often so deeply embedded in the materials themselves so as to be invisible.
Rechsteiner has shown his work internationally (Japan, USA, UK, Switzerland, Italy, Portugal, France) in galleries and museums such as the Fukuoka Art Museum, Whitechapel Gallery, Tate Liverpool, the London Art Fair & the 53rd and 54th Venice Biennales. He was born in Basel, Switzerland in 1971, he lives and works in Margate, UK. www.jayrechsteiner.com
