Andreas Sell

In recent years, Andreas Sell’s work has focused on artistic group work and the creation of space for group work. Since 2020, he has been running the artist residency Hermitage Sykaminea (HS) on the island of Lesvos in Greece. As part of the HS, he has organised a number of collective projects. These include the Hermitage Sykaminea – Gathering in 2022 at the AiR Onassis and the Ergo Collective in Athens. With the HS programme, Sell is building a network of creative workers and new local and international projects with a focus on ecology and social participation on the island of Lesvos.

His practice spans artist books—published with Bom Dia Books, Dolce Publishing, and independently—and installations exhibited at institutions including Platform China Contemporary Art Institute, Karlin Studios, Haus der Kunst, and Brooklyn Lyceum. He has been awarded scholarships from DAAD, Stiftung Kunstfonds Bonn, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, and the Berlin Senate. Sell has participated in residencies such as A.I.R. Futura Prague and USF Verftet Bergen. He studied at Kunsthochschule Berlin Weißensee and completed an MFA at Pratt Institute.
