Matti Schulz was born in Neubrandenburg in 1985.

He studied from 2006 to 2016 Fine Arts at the HfBK Dresden and the University of Barcelona and completed his studies with a diploma and as a master student in the class of Prof. Carl Emanuel Wolff.

Matti Schulz uses a wide variety of media and techniques from sculpture and object art to drawing, painting and installation, while his subjects usually humorously address contemporary themes from public life or recent history.

The social issues themes that he deals with are often adorned with absurd comments and titles and are characterised by a sarcastic and ironic view of the present, as in his bronze sculpture ‘Puking Cat’.

Since 2018 he has also realised a wide range of musical projects for example MC Müllsaft, the band Erste Hilfe or Dj Müllsack. From 2011-2018 he was co-founder and member of the artist group GorbatShow. He has been awarded several artist residencies, e.g. in collaboration with the Goethe Institute in Kinshasa and CCA Andratx in Mallorca, Spain, and several art scholarships, such as the Visual Arts Research Scholarship from the Berlin Senate for Culture and Europe 2021.

His works are represented in various collections e.g. Saxon Art Collections Dresden (SKD), Brandenburg State Museum of Modern Art (BLMK) and various private collections.

His works have been exhibited in Hamburg, Berlin, Vienna, Kinshasa and Paris, among others. Since 2022 he has also been the founder and curator of the Frieren Room, Berlin.
