Bert Theis was born in 1952 in Luxembourg. Lives and works in Luxembourg and Milan. He belongs to that generation of artists that emerged at the beginning of the 90's, that try to drop their operative strategies into public space, anchoring them to social contexts and relational modalities, without, however, removing them from the category of works of art which they are. He is the founder of Isola Art Center, Milan, Office for Urban Transformation, Milan/Mexico City and also professor at NABA Milan. In 2009 Theis curated “Territoria 4/The Great Leap” at Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci, Prato. He has exhibited at Manifesta 2 Luxembourg, 4th Gwangju Biennale, Musée d´Art Moderne et Contemporain Geneva, Skulptur Projekte Münster 1997, 46th International Art Exhibition Venice Biennale, Casino Luxembourg, 2nd Tirana Biennale, Busan Biennial 2006, 10th Istanbul Biennial and MUDAM Luxembourg.
