We\u2019re in the far-off Inglewood neighborhood of southwestern L.A., and Schneider\u2019s studio is packed with acrylic aquariums, which he is in the process of slowly filling with stuff he\u2019s found in a dodgy desert marketplace including leeches, embalmed rats, plastic plants and syringes.<br \/>\nWearing a vintage Cannibal Corpse T-shirt and gripping a Venti Starbucks cup, Schneider has just returned from a trip to New Mexico and isn\u2019t 100 percent together. He travels back and forth to Santa Fe to visit his mother, a retired theoretician. His late father was an equine veterinarian. \u201cI am a manifestation of that,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s like there\u2019s a constant intersection of the clinical and the metaphysical in my life. On my 16th birthday my dad told me, \u2018The key to happiness is good bowel movement\u2019. Meanwhile, my mum was lecturing at UCLA about the agency of a rock.\u201d<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Max-Hooper-Schneider-Aquarium-Sculpture.jpg\" alt=\"Max Hooper Schneider Aquarium Sculpture\" width=\"1300\" height=\"1950\" \/><br \/>\nFor his undergrad, Schneider studied biology and urban design at NYU, followed by a postgrad at Harvard in landscape architecture, mostly \u201cbecause it provided a lab-slash-studio, and allowed me to traffic biota\u201d. After school, Schneider became the aquarium technician at French artist Pierre Huyghe\u2019s New York studio, before branching out on his own under the guidance of Lynda Benglis. A well-received show called \u201cThe Pound\u201d at Jenny\u2019s gallery in L.A. in 2014 kicked off what Schneider refers to as \u201cthe beginning of a few ample years\u201d. Featuring a treadmill with an alligator skin belt and a watermelon that \u201csent out messages\u201d on a scrolling LED, the show impressed Hammer Museum curator Ali Subotnick, who bought a popcorn maker modified into an aquarium, and notoriety beckoned.<br \/>\nWalking into another dark room, Schneider gestures to three aquariums adorned with neon signs that spell out diseases in different languages. \u201c\u2018Ebola\u2019,\u201d he says, pointing. \u201cThis one celebrates the arbitrariness of science, and I don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s enchanting or\u00a0disgusting, but it\u2019s captivating. It also worries me, because when it heats up, you get a faint waft of tidepool smell.\u201d<br \/>\nThere\u2019s currently a long waiting-list for these disease themed objects. And while he\u2019s satisfied with their popularity, Schneider says he\u2019s more excited about his next project, in which he plans to transform a derelict mall in Ohio into a macro version of one of his biomes. \u201cIt\u2019s a phenomenon I call the \u2018ecology of neglect\u2019,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s what happens when you or I or our community leaves an urban or suburban site or whatever, and it becomes a giant planter \u2013 literally just left to seed into flowers.\u201d<br \/>\nNevertheless, while he\u2019s visibly enlivened by the prospect of his latest idea \u2013 he practically rubs his hands together every time he mentions it \u2013 the scheme is more than just a cheap thrill. Like all of his works, it combines art, science and ethics to give audiences a visceral idea of potential ecological disasters without bullying them into conclusions.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s gonna be a \u2018post-Earth work\u2019,\u201d he says, finishing his coffee. \u201cHow can I approach this site and guide what\u2019s already happening as a purely artistic intervention? That\u2019s what I wanna find out.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Entnommen aus <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.sleek-mag.com\/products-page\/issues\/49-spring-16\/\">SLEEK 49<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A studio visit with the playfully apocalyptic artist<\/p>","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":47383,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11856,139],"tags":[38,4112,7996,37],"class_list":["post-47370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sleek-art","category-art","tag-art","tag-la","tag-max-hooper-schneider","tag-studio-visit"],"acf":{"main_category":null,"legacy":"1","exclude_from_ads":null,"hero_title":null,"subtitle":null,"hero":null,"teasers":null,"facebook_image":null,"related_articles":null,"next_article":null,"sleek_card_focus":null,"content":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Biological Funfare with LA Artist Max Hooper Schneider<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"From treadmills made from alligators to abandoned shopping malls turned into flowerbeds, the artist is playfully making us think about nature and disaster\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/max-hooper-schneider-biological-funfare\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Biological Funfare with LA Artist Max Hooper Schneider\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"From treadmills made from alligators to abandoned shopping malls turned into flowerbeds, the artist is playfully making us think about nature and disaster\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/max-hooper-schneider-biological-funfare\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-03-01T10:22:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Maxwell Williams\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3\u00a0Minuten\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
